Two ideas:
1. Instead of merging separate files, might one not use a common project
file and rely on tags and categories to mark ownership of tasks?
Bastien has a nice example of this in his column view tutorial:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-column-view-tutorial.html#sec-5
Similar example in the manual: (info "(org) Column attributes")
Merging in this scenario could then be left to git (or some other
dvcs).
2. User one file per user and rely on the agenda to create a task list
for the entire project.
Best,
