Because all the distro guideline guys want to work inside their own personal guideline committee instead of meeting each other at the project level where they have less control. Which can't work as long as the project is shared.
Well, we have this new freedesktop.org mailing list for cross-distro cooperation. Sounds like a great place to bring such discussions.
There's no need to move this to freedesktop.org since JPackage is already distro-neutral. Fixes should be made *with* JPackage (with their blessing and that of the other distros, of course).
Here's a potential way forward from Fedora's side:
1) get Fedora guidelines in order 2) distill divergences from JPackage 3) work with JPackage to deal with divergences thereby fixing other distros, etc.
I think we're well on the way towards solving 1) above. 2) will fall out of that and the many contributors to *both* Fedora and JPackage can take the changes and present them in JPackage forums and deal with 3).
Then we can deal with the actual hard problems of merging contributions/contributors, inter-leaving of repos, etc.
