I've ignored Jambunathan so far, hoping that not feeding the troll
will make it go away. I understand he's contributed significant code,
but his combative attitude is an instant turn off. I can't imagine a
team leader (which is what I consider a maintainer) having such a
negative attitude. Often team leads require better people skills than
coding skills because most of their time is spent in team management,
I see no evidence of superior skills being demonstrated here.

I'll also point out that I can always tell when Bastien comes back
from an announced vacation, suddenly my inbox fills up with replies to
everything that hasn't been answered yet. I'm impressed with Bastien's
staying power and people skills, he needs no replacement.
