You are free to do what you want. Is this then about personal google hitcount?
To the risk of re-starting a extinguishing discussion, I think google (or any outsider looking) plays an important role here, but not in the "personal hitcount" sense.
I think openness of product *and* process is the only thing that makes us scalable and fault-tolerant, when comparing Apache with more traditional organizations.
Scalable because big groups of people can coordinate, even if they don't give specific input or they were not "there" while the decision was taken.
Fault tolerant because the public audit trail left in CVS and mailing lists makes it easy for third party observers (or interested parties) to spot any error in oversight.
If we go to the "cathedral versus bazaar" metaphor, nothing beyond a small group conversation remains private in the bazaar. So, if some merchant down there is "selling" cheaper, notice propagates fast. Same if some merchandise is faulted.
