No one is being turned away, that I've noticed, but I really don't see how anyone is supposed to follow along if they're not part of the team already. I will say that the only Jira I've seen from outside recently didn't exactly get a warm reception. [1] Not rejected, just radio silence. I'm also sad to see that being held up as a standard by other mentors. My understanding is that projects should be attempting to create a community that is open, and trying to self-perpetuate. Sure, you can't do that if you turn people away actively - but you also can't do that by having conversations offlist and having an opaque process that newcomers can't follow along with. I'll say again - maybe my standards are improperly calibrated. If so, and "not actively turning people away" is the standard we're going for... that's disappointing as all heck.
