What? I'm sorry, but that post is full of bullshit from my POV: Maintainers inherently strive to remain important in their project. If they can keep out potential competitors by delaying and blocking their patches, they will. Mediocre contributors who make patches that no-one notices or cares about. - PM: we get a flamewar and everyone wonders why the community is so hostile. Trollish contributors who ignore the rules, and who write toxic patches. - we get a flamewar which troll wins by sheer force of argument. Community explodes in fight-or-flee emotions. Bad patches get pushed through. I... don't have any words.
