I have never understood why open source projects have taken to trying to cargo cult dispute resolution and due process. They don't have the training, resources, or infrastructure to make it work. Really, they should just be realistic, and say "we're gonna look at what people say, make a completely arbitrary decision, and stick with it". Because that's what is really happening.
