I think there are a couple things to consider here:
1. Off-list discussions, and commits made based on such discussions:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. The resultant code is
public and can be reviewed. If the reasons behind a change are not
clear, well, it's up to the devs to document the code and/or explain
on the dev@ list; but forbidding off-list discussions implies
forbidding hackathons and ApacheCons, for example.
2. Committing changes that were made by someone else: this is
potentially a bit shadier, but in general, the committer is
responsible for the change, not the author. A committer might even
hire someone to develop stuff for them ... that'd be a bit fishy,
but not invalid. The only objection I can think of is if a committer
shares her ASF account with someone else. I've seen no indication of
that happening.
Personally I'm not too happy with how this community tracks issues, but
hey, if it works for them, why fix it? It'll be a fine day when the IPMC
starts telling podlings how their development workflow should look like.
