A credit system based on the percentage of the upload speed you offer is enough. Of course this would only work with partial sharing, so the people would share at least the things which they download. See eMule!
Unlike edonkey, Gnutella has mainly small files. What you propose simply won't work. The probability of two servents downloading from each other simultaneously is minute (even for larger files, by the way). And without eMules awful, long queues this will not happen.
