I wrote this message before seeing Matt's follow-up. I said:

"I thought it was outrageous that Mike Little had been denied 
committal, but of
course this could simply be a fluke"

This can now be rephrased:

"Mike Little, co-founder of WordPress, has no committal privileges which is
_outrageous_"

One last point in defence of WP coders, possibly saying what Mike 
cannot say for
himself.

No communication -> no orientation -> no ideas -> no contribution.

Get you act together, priests, and open up discussion with _impact_. IRC
transcripts? Does anybody expect proficient coders to read transcripts?!?! Or
even join IRC channels? I haven't been using IRC since I was 16.
