Just a quick FYI: I have reached out to Red Hat (w/ my ASF hat one) via Mark Little and Dave Ingham. Both have been *extremely* open, eager and honest w/ me. I plan on writing up a quick summary of my thoughts and our conversations and maybe suggest some ways of moving forward.
Sometimes our biases, and past history, can color our interpretations of events and actions and, to be short, I firmly believe that that has been a factor here. As I draft my email, I encourage a short reprieve :)
