Let's examine this, shall we?

Has he ever even been involved with a bcachefs bug? No, aside from arguing against shipping bugfixes.

Has he contributed in any way, besides merging code? No...

Has he set rules or guidelines that benefited bcachefs reliability? No, but he has shouted down talk about automated testing.

I think you're confusing power with responsibility.

You're still doing that thing where you assume everyone else is you. Linus's job (some of which he delegates) is to take the contributions from ALL the hundreds of maintainers, and bundle it into a unified coherent whole. He is not only responsible for bcachefs reliability. In the train analogy I already used, he is the train driver, he is responsible for getting everyone who is on the train to their destination, but he is not responsible for ensuring that you're on the train. It's your responsibility to ensure that you're on the train when it departs.

You are one of those maintainers (not any more). Your code can be taken into the bundle (not any more), but on the bundle's schedule, not yours. You have consistently failed to understand that the train doesn't wait for you - if you are late, you get on the next one. If you don't want to get on the next one, then don't be late. Normal people, after missing a train once or twice, would adjust their schedule accordingly so they won't miss it next time. But your exclusive, repeated reaction has been to yell at the train driver and the station master, which is why you've been kicked out of the station.

Have you ever ridden a train, by the way? Were you on time? (Deutsche Bahn doesn't count because they're not on time)
