FWIW, we're aware that the email-bases process lacks transparency.

We had a project in progress to replace it with a "code review" type
tool which would make it easier for both submitters and reviewers to
follow along.  However, the volunteer working on that project left the
OSI, and nobody has taken it back up.

For my part, I think even moving to a bugzilla instance would be an
improvement over the current workflow, but apparently I don't have
consensus on that.
