I think the first post was more adequate than the second one.
Basically,
a more eloquent version of the following would have sufficed:
Glad to hear that. However, the need for two other release
managers is
still there.
The role of Release Manager and "This Week In D" are the two
somewhat
special
in the community: regularity is crucial. If we have no
release
manager and no
contingency plan, we can't release.
I definitely am sorry for not handling this better. What I
should have done in retrospect is to resume efforts to reach
Martin privately after evidence came about that he's alive and
well, then discuss reasonable communication expectations with
him, and only after that resume the public search for more
release czars. I apologize to Martin and the community for not
taking that course of action.
We definitely need to move forward to having more release
czars, which reduces the demands on each. I'll do my best to
learn the ropes and document the process.

Respect - both for having high standards, and for this message.
Laeeth.
