this is a reply to the above and some other replies in the thread.
considering the timing of the post and specific emphasis on the pull requests, I can only conclude most of it was a direct result was probably from the linux kernel pull request debate. For an article talking about being cordial, it's a bad way to represent someone, especially with wrong context, and even more to bring someone like linus.
The only person who was the most cordial in the whole debacle on kernel tree was linus, esp. to the contributor. Now, after all the smearing has been done, just saying it's removed and should be good, is no way to handle it either.
I said all this because, I respect the work linus does and you do (i'm a python dev too, and use your work more than enough in my projects). It pains me to see someone like you to smear linus' name, and brushing it off saying it's not a important after damage has been done (not to linus, probably he'd not even care for this debate in the first place), and not even apologizing (i don't know, may be put a PS on the article or something).
Understanding you might be sensitive about negative criticism, I ask you to not take it personally. But, it pains me too see good developers talking about how to behave in OSS and then do the exact opposite, esp. from ppl I respect
