Wow, that was quite the aggressive email. The thing is, it very much looks like the only reason you care about this delay is because Kellabyte is making the ASF board look bad on twitter. If it weren't the case, it seems unlikely such a "slow" 12hr response would receive board notice, let alone ire.
I think the board forgets that all of these functions are fulfilled by volunteers (whoever the moderators are - I genuinely haven't a clue). Expecting volunteers to jump to it, because the board is looking bad, seems like a pretty clear *abuse* of process.
