I saw it, and i think that patch is anything but objective and 
completely unacceptable. You're stating your opinion and discrediting a 
system in an official document in the project's repository itself of all 
places. Do you not see how absurd that is?

Why do you say there's a vulnerability in the GA? Has it been exploited 
for this to be an issue? Did someone to your knowledge buy a developer 
to write 20 commits and get them into the GA? Otherwise, you're making a 
big deal out of an hypothetical, and that's really damaging to the project.

I don't know if you realize, but you're being incredibly disrespectful 
with almost everyone who has contributed anything in the last decade, 
treating them as moles trying to bring down the project instead of 
contributing to its success.
