Errr, what?  No sensible VCS forces you to wait for someone else to
finish their portion of the work.

That part is true enough, although it is not so much who does the
work, it is following the procedure.   If you are going to be picky
about who does what, there should really be a QA person involved that
makes the actual decision about what version should be running in
production in between the developers making changes and the operators
doing the installs.
