Thanks for sharing your experience. I know that's something that sounds like a formula that people say, but I really really mean it. > I don't expect you to agree, I don't feel I can disagree with your report of your experience. And, going back and looking at the report for the bug, I can see why you feel the way you do. Some of your messages in that bug log make quite cogent arguments. I haven't changed my mind that the problem of difficult maintainers desperately needs a solution. And I haven't really changed my mind about what the TC should do in the current case. But I feel you have significantly shifted my view about what should be done about the general problem; or, alternatively, about how these things should be dealt with in the future. I'm more towards the view now that the TC framework/process simply cannot deal with these problems in a just way. I am going to write a separate mail in a different bit of the subthread, with some different ideas you have prompted me to think of.
