Maybe he wants some constructive criticism? But does he get that a) people are short on time, b) if your code looks/feels like it's too much work to review, the reviewers may procrastinate, and c) no one is actually obligated to accept your unsolicited contribution? I feel like, pre-Github, this anger would be happen of the course of a few e-mails on a mailing list, and then instantly put in check by a more mature person. There would be no misconceptions in your feelings toward the project, and vice versa -- you could either take it or leave it. Now, it just builds and festers, until it comes out in a blog post, where probably zero of the original parties even see the concern. Can we bring back mailing list flames?
