Honestly, I think it was a choice between ruining the project because of 
getting key developers distracted from the release (which is very bad) 
and pissing off a new member of the community (obviously bad, too, but 
perhaps not as bad as delaying 0.9.0 for another month or so). We gave 
rational arguments, or at least tried very hard, and they apparently 
were not convincing enough.

I see Yelve's action as a kind of "emotional blackmail" - "design the 
feature NOW or I'll leave the list and make you feel guilty", and it 
seemed to look like that from start. Which means that the problem is 
more related to his lack of tolerance for having to wait a couple of 
weeks. You'd have to change a lot to make such a person feel comfortable 
with the project.

Some people are incompatible with some projects, and there's little one 
can do about it.

On the other hand, it would be nice if there was a dedicated person with 
lots of time to spend helping people who want to work on the project. 
But is it possible at the moment, without delaying the release? I think 
it isn't, because everyone with enough knowledge is fixing bugs at the 
moment.

Maybe after 0.9.0?
