My 2 cents: Various QA and doc folks have worked tirelessly putting through bug reports, fixing doc issues when "pressed" in to action. I for one don't like (hate, loath, any other superlatives) the idea of people in a position to mobilize a team get credit before individuals. Let's please show what we are made up of instead of standing on the shoulders of giants. All of that goes against the idea of an apache meritocracy. It's the lack of transparency that shook the 'foundations' of a project that is not named here. Let's avoid running into that wall in the future. -- Prasanna.,
