Yeah, this seems very dramatic. The release process is in much 
better shape than it's ever been thanks in large part to his 
efforts and nobody knows it better than him. It's not like anyone 
else is eager to jump in and fill the role that Martin 
volunteered for.

I'm not saying the unannounced MIA isn't a problem, it is. It's 
just that demoting the one person who is best equipped to do it 
seems a bit over the top for an all volunteer community project. 
"Can someone fill in until we figure out what is going on?" is 
perhaps a more appropriate response than a public rebuke.
