But which part is broken though, the app, our commitfest process and workflow
and the its intent, or our assumption that we follow said process and workflow
which may or may not be backed by evidence? IMHO, from being CMF many times,
there is a fair bit of the latter, which excacerbates the problem. This is
harder to fix with more or better software though.
