And this is not the point.

The point was this sentence:
- "releasing tarballs is enough of a chore as it is."

Ben described that the requirements for the release are not heavey at all, let 
me quote the part that you cut out from the answer:

Translated this means: the process is not complicated on the sysadmin side. 
The biggest requirement (without any judgement about it, it was just a 
description of it) is the signing process, added recently.

So I suggest to calm down, probably open up the ticket at the beginning of the 
discussion to show everyone what was written there. And calm down again, and 
re-read the code of conduct.
