I find it absurd to expect anybody - including committers and regular
contributors - to be involved in the project all the time. It's one
thing to call somebody out who regularly commits his/her own stuff but
doesn't do CF work, something entirely different to do it to people who
didn't have time (or even chose to invest it differently!) to contribute
lately. The project does *NOT* own them.

I'd be at least as pissed as Michael seems to be if I were in his shoes.
