I would rectify here and say the reason had nothing to do with 
communication and egos, but with the lack of a agreement of the future 
vision over the project -

To answer in a automatic way to this question, I will add an history 
page on the opensips web page just to clarify things.

copying bring no value to a project :) - copying with no understanding 
over the code is more dangerous than not copying - to give you an 
example, the kamilio project blindly copied commits from opensips 
without getting into the logic and they ended up importing intermediary 
code that contains bugs, so right now kamilio has some non-functional 
modules in the 1.4.0 release because of this copy policy.

I think the value of a project is the new and inovation and not the 
power of copy. I say originals are more valuables.

bug reports are welcomed anytime. We avoid importing commits without a 
deeper analysis of the bug itself (I'm saying it, because I say some 
fast fixes in kamilio, fixes that solves a problem, but breaks something 
else).

Thanks and regards,
