Anthony and others:
I've spent some time creating a new page that might be a start at addressing
some of these questions, and perhaps could be pointed at when this topic arises
again. I don't expect it gives satisfying answers to all of your questions
above at this time, but it can be enhanced if desired.
http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Brief+description+of%2C+and+FAQs+about%2C+the+Clojure+contribution+process
The best answer I know of for why Clojure only accepts JIRA patches is that
Rich Hickey prefers them, as given on a link on that page now, and which I gave
earlier in this thread. He says it saves him time compared to github pull
requests, for example. If you want to know in detail *why* it saves him time,
I don't have an answer for that question.
