So, there is no code review ... just everybody blindly dumps 
their changes to the repo? (more interesting for sword proper 
repo).

Well, this is a Catch XXII: "We don't switch to more popular 
tools because nobody bothers to contribute to our repo, and 
nobody cares about our repo because nobody knows that 
contributions are possible, because we use old obsolete 
tools."

And yes, because all code is in repos which nobody 
cares/dares/is-able/knows-how/is-willing to contribute, people 
do various misguided forks instead of coodinating their effort.  
Classical state of SVN-based project. I saw it many times in 
action.
