This is not entirely true. There has been a delay (11 month) in the sync of the server code with a public GitHub repo. Currently all commits are there: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/commits/master

That is quite an understatement. This is like Facebook saying "we will protect your privacy, but there is a slight delay".

And to wit, the sync only occurred once major tech media outlets started to notice. Thus the sync happened to throw them off the scent. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, if you will.
