These two points seem to be somewhat conflicting.

This seems like a reasonable thing to do. If all the code has been 
subject to review according to twisteds procedure, then it would 
seem to be reasonable to require that the changes needed to move 
the code in to twisted would need to be reviewed (so moving files 
around and adjusting imports and the like).

It would certainly be possible to hook twisted's CI system to 
additional projects.
