This developer is a F/OSS guru and has contributed tons to the Linux community. Your escalating this to the brass at Novell can easily cause a pretty minor issue to get blown way out of proportion.

A) This has absolutely no place on the Fedora list. Even if it were a redhat.com address it still would have no place here. It's drama, not Fedora.
B) A private email to notzed would have been better than your response in the bugzilla and certainly better than a post to Fedora list.
C) Perhaps it was the wrong thing for him to have done. But still, have some humility and don't take it personally - it's a damned bug report, not your son in law.
D) There's always balsa :)
