For many of the people developing LinuxBIOS the primary responsibility is to our internal trees that we use internally or support our customers with. This allows a buffer so we are certain big changes don't break things until we are ready to retest things in our internal trees. And it allows hacks that only work for a few boards to be used before the code is generalized to work for everyone.
This is perfectly fine as long as the code is reviewed before it goes to the official public tree to not contain these hacks anymore.
Also, for now I want to maintain the sourceforge as the definitive code base. sourceforge has the wonderful property of being well known, reasonably reliable, understood by most people, and vendor neutral. A potential replacement for the "definitive code base" should support at least these properties.
