Holding people hostage by threatening to revoke their access to the
project is completely unacceptable.

In such circumstances, creation of an independent project
infrastructure seemed prudent.

Indeed.  Had any effort been made to at least acknowledge the bugs,
the change might have been excusable.
Maybe he just wanted his personal tally to reach 100 :-)
