Yes, thats it. I provide a patch to the best of my knowledge and there is no way to verify that patch until it is part of a release. The reporter can verify the release and only then report back that the patch is not valid. 

Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer on how to fix this other than "make jboss-eap public". Then again, I don't really understand why it is so secret what we do there if we release eap+sources every couple of months anyway.
