When we talk about the public code, why the development of new
software like LQT 3 is private? Why community devs can't participate
on that? When is it going to be pushed to readeable repository? I also
heard from B Harris that there is a work on new interface design,
which some code name, there is no code for it, why?

We don't want to document it when we don't want it to be the case.
Documenting it would give the impression that it is an acceptable
situation.
Anyway, it certainly isn't the case for core contributions, or for
contributions to existing extensions, both of which have a healthy
level of community commits. The problem is limited to new extension
deployments, and perhaps to major core branch merges like IWTransclusion.
We're not behaving like Oracle does with Java or MySQL, or like Google
does with Android. We develop code in public repositories and grant
commit access liberally.
You're setting a high standard with your demands, but it happens to be
a standard we want to meet. So please, keep nagging and watch this space.
