In meteorology and oceanography we call this type of plot a Hovmöller diagram [0], and I'm sure it goes by many other names, because it's hardly a difficult idea to arrive at. Perhaps you should credit one of those prior authors?
I would normally try to avoid the snark, but, setting the code-duplication issue aside, the rest of your complaints seem a bit thin-skinned, put in the light of the kinds of criticisms you find in normal scientific literature.
See aakilfernandes' comment here [1], for the appropriate way to look at this other person's comments on your analysis.
