I understand the feeling, but that seems unnecessarily harsh to
demote Martin, since he is the one that have done the most for
release, and it yielded actual results.
Yeah, this seems very dramatic. The release process is in much
better shape than it's ever been thanks in large part to his
efforts and nobody knows it better than him. It's not like anyone
else is eager to jump in and fill the role that Martin
volunteered for.
I'm not saying the unannounced MIA isn't a problem, it is. It's
just that demoting the one person who is best equipped to do it
seems a bit over the top for an all volunteer community project.
"Can someone fill in until we figure out what is going on?" is
perhaps a more appropriate response than a public rebuke.
