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?
