why?

It is updated regularly when the changes applied to the live system work
well and we find enough spare time besides other jobs.

Well feel free to join the website time to improve the situation and the
repos.

No it is just another repo containing the themes.
You are also welcome to improve the documentation.   :-)

I do not see the need to publish the configuration for it is mainly
important for people involved and less for attempts to clone our site
for whatever purpose.

like many other patches applied

What for? Where do you publish your passwords?  ;-)
Again, if you want to work on the site why not join the team?

You might have recognized that we are an open source community with
members working in their spare time.
Subsites have been requested and set up, still the content has to be
done by the respective language teams in their spare time.

To stress it once more, feel welcome to join the team and discuss your
points of view with us.

The final RC just gets renamed for releases which sometimes does not
apply to SDKs, the content would not be different.
