I agree with Chris in principle.  I wonder how practical this is, though.

Is there a way to allow people to work on branches in SVN, but not merge
to the Trunk?

This is how I work on projects using Bazaar -- it's easy to let people
work using all the usual revision control features, but have a separate
authorization required to merge to the mainline or a branch for a
product release.

I don't know enough about SVN to know if a similar thing is possible there.
