I'm not really familiar with arch, but I'll try to answer this question.
You can make your branch available to the outside world if you have
access to a webserver, Bazaar-NG itself can be found at:

	http://bazaar-ng.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ 

With bzr branch and bzr pull one can then branch off that and keep up to
date, which is how I follow the work being done.
I believe arch has some append only features, but I'm not certain how
that would tie in. How simple exactly is hosting a GNU Arch archive?
