There are a number of tools that one needs to have to get the patches, just like in P4. The P4 repo is available from cvsup10, so you don't even need to install P4 to see the patches. Our CVS meisters have told us in the past that branches on the CVS tree are bad, and NetBSD's experience is that not more than one or two are sustainable in the long run. I don't think P4 is the problem here. The problem is communication, expectations and work habits.
