Wow, Michał, this email comes off as pretty harsh to me... Is that
really necessary?

That sounds like a somewhat better solution, although sometimes it can
make sense to send email to where the developers are already, rather
than putting the onus on them to join a separate mailing list.

Come on... I think it's fair game to share news about people breaking
things on the gentoo-dev mailing list. Naming & shaming can be useful
sometimes. And even if you wanted to make this point, you should have
made it more constructively.

This is completely out of line for me. It seems to me that Doug has
the best intentions. If you disagree with his approach, can we not
have a civilized discussion about it rather than going straight into
attack mode?
