"At GitHub, transparency and clarity are at the heart of our relationship with the community."

When these kind of carefully crafted prety slogans has to be a prime statement before anything is told then my suspicious mind gets very alert. Probably even overcompensate. Do people take these kind of forefront self evaluations as facts or have suspicion when this has to be announced and highlighted, stated (instead of being obvious). I do not know why (of course I do!) but these kind of self admirative statements have the opposite effect on me. Even when they are true.

I mean, it was clearly phrased by the marketing team, but it's on a post where they actively close a lot of bugs and clarify they won't be doing them, instead of doing what most companies do and just ignoring them for years.
