I agree. He has scolded me before though, for submitting code he didn't like the look of. Felt a tad harsh at the time, that's the kind of thing that puts people off contributing. However, he's a better programmer than me so if he didn't like it he's probably right. Could improve his bedside manner a bit though. I'm sure others have said that about me too, perhaps I'm a hypocrite.

Regardless of that, anyone who doesn't discriminate against others for their politics would be an improvement.

Edit: a improvement on the other westerners in the core team who might be touted as the next benevolent dictator, as I doubt that benevolence would maintain.

In every interaction with Evans I have had he has been super nice and welcoming to contributors. Maybe he had a bad day.

Heh, do you have a link to the PR?
