Thanks for the explanation. I think it underlines well the A)
technical issues (quality commits) and the B) social issues (ability
to communicate in a friendly way & respond constructively), which we
discovered are both *essential* for contributing to git.

I'm not entirely convinced of that: there is something akin to drop-dead
gorgeous code: code that is so well done that it would not matter with
regard to its maintenance whether or not its author dropped dead because
it's both done well as well as documented in a manner where the original
author could not offer significant additional help.

I would have to say that you are living in a fantasy land.  During
the entire life of Git, I do not think I ever saw such a code that
is perfect from the get-go and did not require any maintenance to
adjust to the changing time.

You are attacking a straw man.  "where the original author could not
offer significant _additional_ help" does not at all equate "does not
require any maintenance".
