Let's not be hasty :)

I think JoshB is spot on in this. He sent previous private emails, and a
week later opened up the transparency so that everyone understood what
was going on.

What I find unfortunate is people are spending a bunch of time on this
argument which has been clearl thought out by Josh instead of reviewing
patches.

I repeat:

Leave your ego at the door. Josh is doing what could be considered one
of the most thankless (public) jobs in this project. How about we
support him in getting these patches taken care of instead of whining
about the fact that he called us out for not doing our jobs (reviewing
patches) in the first place.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drkae
