The circumstances that surround the development of NG are very much in the past now. Secret or not, it's done and we now have NG. This is a good thing™ and is not the subject of the debate nor a need for people to be apologising for their hard work.
Ignoring the "having a go" items that appear to be getting flung around at the moment, can we perhaps move forward. There has been a request for more documentation. I see nothing wrong with this request, and there is nothing blocking about it. It is up to the RFC OP to decide whether it goes to vote, and the current idea is that the vote will begin in 2 weeks (- a few days) as per the voting RFC from what I've read. Perfect, that's the way it should be. There are now ~2 weeks for the NG devs to put some time into actioning any requests *should they wish*, it's not a requirement. People are of course able to lobby for their preferred option and perhaps will if they feel strongly one way or another, but lets try and keep it professional(ish)? Whether or not requests for more information / whatever get answered (fully, partially or not at all) is up to the NG devs but action / inaction may have an impact on voting (as it should). We should assume that people voting will use their best judgement based on the available / lack of information. So, requesting things is not a blocker, providing requested items is optionally actionable by the relevant people to a degree they deem appropriate, and people will vote accordingly. Hurrah! Zeev, with respect to your last point, I responded asking for comment re the NG branch on the other thread. A response one way or another may help (though may not) confirming voting options. 2 cents. Cheers. Jonny.
