This cannot be true if the patch review takes hours.  Even working in
his unilateral commit-whenever-you-want paradigm, Andrew could only
commit a patch once in a couple of days--this is more than enough for
me and others to review the previous patch.

You could draw the conclusion I drew: that Andrew simply doesn't want
to fix whatever problematic issues I and others pointed out in his
patches, and doesn't want to be bothered to explain and defend his
design.

You should complain to the head maintainer.
