If I'm reading the timestamps right, the non-maintainer release was
made just a few minutes after the initial Bug report on the 10th,
which you replied to just two hours later. So I'd have to agree that
the upload was a bit hasty.
It does show everyone's dedication, though, since we're talking 1 a.m
and 3 a.m. :-) The drive to get hamm out as quickly as possible is
undoubtedly fraying people's patience.
But I might have done the same thing, had I been in a hamm-fixing
mood that night, because to be equally blunt, you do not have a track
record of answering email in reasonable times -- this was unusual.
Therfore the long history of NMUs on your packages, and at one point
the WNPP had given you up for dead.
That said, expecting a reply in a few minutes, at 1 a.m, was a bit
much. :-)
Perhaps clearer guidelines on this would be useful.
