Agreed. I was expecting a large piece of code to justify a second guess about merging it right now (or just declining it with a good reason).

It hurts OSS, even if it is a maintainer's right.

Anonymous cowards launching personal attacks years down the line on account of trivial decisions like not merging a particular patch doesn't hurt OSS?

Should we stand by and encourage people to blast Alan Cox for every patch that wasn't included in Linux that someone wanted in there? Does that help OSS?

Yes, it was a trivial decision and looks like that decision was not taken, so people expected that to happen sometime: "Well, I've said multiple times that I'll be working on this during the PyCon sprints".

More than that, the closing message: 'Closing, rejected, due to use of "approval" as spam.'

Yes, it is up to the maintainer to do that. How he do that matters.
