Without mincing words, Bastien has to learn how to respect and engage
with serious contributors. He should take time to look at the data
presented to him and put some serious effort before sending out an
email. I am willing to overlook the fact that he seriously pissed me off
with unkind words and committed a greater faux paus by inviting Lennart
Borgman in to merge discussions. I am sorry to say this - Lennart
Borgman did a half-baked work.

I have been patient and tried my best to be as co-operative as
possible. He just manages to get me on my nerves somehow. He simply
didn't have the courtesy to reply to my mails when he simply disappeared
from the list for 3 months or so. I hate to such callous attitude who
claims to be a maintainer and wants to act like a maintainer.

I have definite ideas on how the merge should proceed. He should be
willing to concede to the fact that I have a far better understanding on
what the most effective method of merge is.

Bastien has stepped in to big shoes and he has to measure up.
