Nobody was going hard on anyone. hasufell replied to an automated
e-mail, blaming no one in particular for a few issues he found. mva
replied that Maxim was not responsible. I replied that having
non-responsible proxy committers is a problem.[1]

That might be the cost of having a better quality main tree. Or do you
suppose we wait until a couple of tiers down someone gains an
understanding of how to fix simple QA issues? The proxy committer
should be ready to do that, being a (somewhat more) skilled Gentoo
developer who presumably can invest the time to quickly fix any problems
that are found after the commit.
That's where by necessity we diverge from the Linux development
process, which has no such hierarchy and which wasn't a good example of
anything we do to begin with.
