How do those developers submit their changes? Do they push? If they do,
git-rebase can be saving one merge at most, and the merge is actually a
good thing (someone should write some nice standalone writeup about
that).

If they don't have push access and maintain their patches locally until
they get accepted, perhaps it would be far simpler for them to use
StGIT?
