Commit timezone consistent with stated geography
Axelar Network's assessment for RD-F-119 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Recent axelar-core commits (Feb-Mar 2026) show contributors (jakovmitrovski, cgorenflo, themicp) with names and commit patterns qualitatively consistent with Eastern European / Canadian timezones. Common Prefix (successor developer post-Circle acquisition) is Greece-based, consistent with EU timezone. No anomalous DPRK-timezone (UTC+8/+9) clustering flagged. However, full quantitative commit-time distribution analysis was not performed — this requires GitHub API batch analysis not available in this session. Yellow due to incomplete quantitative analysis.
