There have been numerous dances on our bugtracker too, among other things. Had no idea about that. :(
This has happened, and it's barely even been a full 6 months - with Goncalo requesting pardon every few weeks, like jeez. It's not even a real timeout - for us at least - if all that happens is that the annoyance shifts from the AUR & co to him begging on the ML. It's all up to the (you) TUs and the mods (mods == TUs? right). :)
I encourage you to dig in the archives and read about the other issues. Get a more complete picture of the topic you're commenting on instead of looking at the last thread only... Sure will. The only reason I replied was that I remember seeing his previous emails and this time I really felt bad for the guy. :/
