They also seem to use a hosted JIRA, but restrict some of the tickets from being viewed, and you need an account to file Jira's.

There is also no mention of it in the "getting involved" section, just a link to github issues

This is not how you do open source.

Sure, maybe they should have never released this useful software at all. /S

Mattermost started, and is still developed AFAIK, as an internal app from a for-profit company, that they've generalized and started releasing to the community.[1]

Considering that they only just hit 1.0, maybe your tone is a bit harsh compared to their ever-so-slight mis-steps.

Let's be constructive.
