Sounds like what you want to do is put different groups on different
branches of the sub project.


here is a cut and past from a message I sent in 2003 on a similar subject,
note the msg00771 thread link it talks a little about having approved bug
fix and QA branches:


Brad Appleton and others "Branching Patterns for Parallel Software
Development"
has helped me a lot. He also has a lot of SCM links on the page. (Note: the
page has moved...to)
http://www.cmcrossroads.com/bradapp/acme/

there are some books listed off of:
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/
http://ccvs.cvshome.org/fom//cache/80.html

[ed. these are now somewhere off of :
http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/cvshome/docs/
]

David Thornley has some practical help for cvs users.
http://www.thornleyware.com/

try following the thread in:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2001-08/msg00771.html
there is some advice and links to resources there.

Also searching for books or resources or branching and scm may turn up
something  in the archives.
