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.
