That was only one part of (some people's) objections, not all contributors were happy with his process.
Currently someone submits a patch for review, maintainers review and maybe approve it for checkin. NightStrike was then replying to every thread asking "has this been checked in?", requiring the submitter or reviewer to confirm something that's already available publicly in the ChangeLog files, svn history, gcc-cvs mail archive etc. -- that was seen as unnecessary noise.
