WTF? The guy went on vacation. He's doing what you describe as 
"good" work for free. This isn't just strange, it's unrealistic 
on your part.

Again WTF? He went on vacation.

Oh, yay, you will allow him to work for free still...

Diminish a guy as "unprofessional", demote him, and then ask for 
his help? This is not the way to encourage people to get involved 
in this community. In fact, as an outsider, I was looking to 
contribute to an opensource language (with D being the one I was 
really considering), but this just turned me completely off from 
participating here. The guy went on vacation for gosh sakes.

Release positions are not exactly and enticing role. So good luck 
with this having this particular attitude....
