This distinction is false. Luke worked on Bodhi voluntarily too. Very few people are working on Fedora full time.

I beg to differ -- Luke is not *responsible* for putting that boring
paperwork put in place, so it's IMHO not his fault. Those that wanted
bodhi are either paid for working on Fedora or members of FESCo afaics

If you are referring to Bodhi are "boring paperwork", it was put up there to manage the repository after the merge. The merge brings in additional policies in place include freezes, actually having a announcement associated with an update which explains why you are pushing that update to the end user, pushing updates to updates-testing, closing relevant bugs etc. These might all be boring but necessary changes. AFAIK, this was done because the people involved believed that the advantages of a merge outweighs the short term disadvantages of having newer tools in place which might require improvements. If you have got any alternative solutions now that we are where we are, list them. That is better than figuring out where to assign blame.

FESCo is a elected body. Right? If FESCo takes a decision, everybody assumes responsibility for those actions have elected them in the first place.
