Thank you Peter, so he did only 9 commits. Kinda strange or misleading to call himself bitcoin core developer then.
To give some explanation, I watched his London video and what he says there was finally enough for me.
There is a good discussion under:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=428777.0Qoheleth/everbody:
I think he is out of line, pushing for blacklisting.
I think he is out of line, pushing for SSL as part of this payment protocol.
I think he way is out of line, trying to force everybody to proof their identity by verifying their passport.
You're missing my point. Those 9 commits aren't why some people call Mike a core developer just as much as my 19 commits aren't why some people call me one - our contributions are to things other than some central repository of code.
Thus, there's no authority on who is or isn't a "core" developer beyond "people believe you are" - so if you don't like Mike's influence do something with more influence. This thread isn't one of those things.
