This codebase bears striking resemblance to Minoca, another (much further along) NT-inspired kernel (https://github.com/minoca/os).
There are strong structural similarities in the source tree and there are also source files that seem completely copypasted with comments changed and function contents gutted (such as ke/sysres.c, ke/runlevel.c, among others).
Are you one of the Minoca developers working on a new project or are you defrauding Hacker News for attention?

The decision may or may not be correct though as ReactOS maintainers can be paranoid for the first commits of new devs. Mostly, people play with IDA and try to write some code for a small portion, which is against the project's philosophy.
