Stephan, thank you for speaking up. It's incredibly frustrating and demoralizing when you work really hard on a gift (all volunteer contributions are gifts) and you just hear nothing back, or maybe just criticism with not even a thank-you. I'm sorry that this happened to you, that out of dozens of comments, nearly none even explicitly acknowledged and appreciated your effort, and that you had long stretches where you were waiting for a response.
It is absolutely your right to take a break from the frustrations of this project and especially from the abrasions of our code review process. I hope you come back, though, and I hope the Wikimedia technical community makes it appealing for you to come back.
