@MichelleDesrochers Would like to chime in here as well to say we feel quite uneasy about submitting source code access for entering the Codegeist. Others already gave good reasons why this is problematic. Just to add one more:
I do not think Atlassian can give any guarantees that our source code remains within the Codegeist judging team and is being removed after the judging. Once we give Atlassian access, it is basically out of our hands. We do not even precisely know who within Atlassian will be able to access the code - it could be one person, or it could be 1000.
If this requirement remains, we will seriously reconsider entering Codegeist or we will have to look for ways to mitigate our risk/exposure.
