We (me and Luca) are also thinking of integrating a workflow engine of some
sort, so the approve and commit may be managed by it. But it may prove too
difficult, at least as a first phase...

This is really interesting, we never thought it that way, but yes that would
be very powerful. We have different offices of the Municipality doing things
on the same areas, and with this subscription mechanism one can be kept
