I'm not excusing their total absence here (& their own infra. to some extent) though, there can be no excuse for that IMHO.

AFAIK there was some drama between Jolla and Council(or one person from Council) as i heard. But not sure

And yes i remember that one of the first things that Stefano told with new account. It was that he had root password to this forum or something like that. I just don't get it or take it serious when co-founder's first introduction is kinda of showoff (like in one of the first community meetings his nickname was something like "DaBoss" or something like that. It's just shows the difference in the ways people see things between maemoers, linux geeks, hackers on one side and him on other

But i think the main reason is that they wanted to be in control. They talk about community, but they do everything by themselves and want total control. That's not how FOSS works and "transparency" is not related to that.

But it's too late now and not that relevant.
