Yes and no. 

A contrib/ material may not be held to the same high standard, but
that does not mean a contrib/ area maintainer has a blank check to
do anything there.

It would be pretty obvious to people observing what happens in the
area after a while, if the quality standard the area maintainer
enforces is too out of whack, and at that point the area maintainer
deserves to be ridiculed ;-)

I do not think Thomas was talking specific about contrib/ material
but your interaction in general with other developers.

Cf. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/220427/focus=220891

FWIW, I thought "that person was me" response from him was more than
reasonable, and I still do.
