David,
Tonality is difficult to construe from email, I'll
admit, but the wording of your reprimand of Si's date
format commit, has to make one suspect that you see
yourself in that light as well.
Sincerely speaking, I'd love to get more feedback on my work from David,
because of his great experience and knowledge of OFBiz and ERP
processes; unfortunately this is not possible since reviewing the work
from others is very difficult and time consuming and he is not payed to
perform this task.
I don't think that the comment on Si's commit can be considered a
reprimand; it was just a quick review on a commit.
It is worth saying that this can be considered a very good example of
common practices described and promoted by the Apache Software Foundation:
1) Si did a commit following the CTV "Commit Then Review" startegy:

2) David expressed a veto for this change:

No dictatorship, just best practices adopted (in a natural way) by an
healthy and solid open source project like OFBiz is.
