Gang, I see a massive amount of work (well done) being done and pull requested via GitHub.
Are these old pieces of work that are pushed now, or is it new work? If the latter, how does people know what to work on? Perhaps it is simply totally independent pieces, driven by personal interest, BUT I SUSPECT that this is agreed upon at work, on some side channel or otherwise. And that is NOT OK. Apache projects are expected to have discussions on features and fixes on the mailing list. As the saying goes around here; "If it didn't happen on the mailing list, it didn't happen!" Additionally, all communication in GitHub Pull Requests could disappear tomorrow. The project's history would be gone as a result. No records of anything, other than the commit messages. So, everyone, I know this is difficult, especially since most of you are Chinese, probably with limited English fluency. But we need to get the discussion going HERE... not at work, not on WeChat, not on Slack, not on GitHub or any other medium... HERE.
