I appreciate the org-odt exporter, I haven't had much use for it but what I have had to use it for it worked perfectly. However your attitude in the past has often struck me as abrasive or argumentative when there was little to no reason for it. Either there's some underlying reason for your apparent dislike for Bastien and his approach to maintaining Org, or some argument in the past that I am not aware of. Regardless, Bastien is doing a fine job from what I can see, he is certainly actively assisting users who post with questions or bugs, even when they occurred during a time where he was absent (with prior notice). Perhaps he has not contributed to certain aspects as others have, however his presence and monitoring of the smaller aspects does allow for further development to proceed without being interrupted by every issue.
