But, from what I can read in the comments about it, and from what I can see when I scan the tickets, lists, commits etc; The commits only refer to JIRA tickets and not discussions on the dev list, the JIRA tickets do not refer to anything, and the dev list does not refer to neither the commits IDs nor the JIRAs...so how exactly are we to interpret what's going on then, if it's all suddenly irrelevant? Open Source development is not just about publishing your code, it's also about making the development and decision process open and transparent, and in several cases, such as the ones Ted listed, it does not appear to be that way yet. I see that this issue has been acknowledged on the dev list by at least one member of the project, and while that is a positive response, I stand by my decision to withhold support for graduation till I am satisfied that this has been shown in a consistent manner across (most of) the board.
