I feel for him/her. When you provide a usefull service in OSS, this is the result of the slightest transgression, real or imagined. I also think this displays 'emperors clothes' behaviour. In a perfect world, many eyeballs make all bugs shallow, and long term, it actually mostly works. But short term, we collectively severely fall short of our ideals. I think part of the harshness an OSS contributor receives in this kind of situation comes from everyone realizing we've been caught with our pants down. It's human to shoot the messenger, but let's not forget this only happens because someone worked hard enough to make the whole world trust him or her.
