I cannot comment on Oracle development processes but the Whamcloud 
processes are laid out on 
http://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Lustre+Development.

Many of the Whamcloud team (including Andreas and myself) have been 
involved with Lustre since the CFS days.

The Whamcloud release has the backing of the Lustre community groups 
(EOFS\OpenSFS) - see 
http://www.whamcloud.com/news/opensfs-and-whamcloud-sign-lustre-community-tree-development-agreement/ 
and http://www.eofs.eu/index.php?id=6 .

If you would like to keep abreast of developments relating to Whamcloud 
releases then you should sign up to the Whamcloud mailing list - 
https://groups.google.com/a/whamcloud.com/group/wc-discuss/subscribe

Regards

Peter
