I've had similar feelings, but I encourage you avoid being hasty.

I do think it's very cool that Ximian has lists like this and allows
their engineers to participate. And I'm sure that, even if he did stomp
off in a huff, that Jeffery Stedfast will learn something from this.

I hope that Ximian learns something from this, too. The wrong lesson
would be, "Engineers should be kept away from the public."

Only Ximian can know what the right one is, but perhaps it's, "We should
train our employees on how to communicate more effectively." Or perhaps,
"We should see if anything in our corporate culture unintentionally
nurtures behavior like this." Or maybe even, "Are we working our
engineers too hard and making them snap at people?"

I dunno, but Evolution shows enough promise that I hope they sort it
out.
