For what?

"Hello, I'm this guy, who does that and now you have to respect my mail,
because I'm someone who is doing a lot more for Ubuntu then you?"

Actually this occasion happened in a development cycle which is intended
to break. Everbody who is using a development relase knows exactly that
this can happen always until release.

So there is no need for fingerpointing...We found the bugger, the
solution is quite clear and for the next time, we know now what we have
to do (as Colin and I were discussing). Yes, we all make mistakes, so what.

To identify who is who doesn't help with all that.
