Perhaps I overreacted, but I find it pretty irritating when
people who've obviosly put zero effort into investigating the
project (let alone contributing anything) show up out of the
blue demanding to know why an open-source project isn't being
run the way they want it to be run.  Then when it's explained
why things are run the way they are they start making claims
that what we're doing isn't good enough and we're not
professionals and have no experience with commercial product
development.

I probably should have just ignored him...
