this is the kind of statement that triggers other people and leads to
awkward threads we have witnessed in the past.
As a very public figure of the project, you should work on that.
(^^^ serious, constructive recommendation)

That being said:
You seem to be dismissing what I wrote by thinking this is about you
taking a holiday, it's not; maybe read it again cool headed.
Everyone has holidays, I acknowledge, respect and even encourage that;
there is no point in burnout.

There is also an issue with this version of the facts. What actually
happened was more like:
- Issue pointed out
- Solution was proposed
- Criticism was shown
- Discussion got heated and pointless
- A deadline was set
- A deadline was missed
- Discussion went back to being heated and pointless
- Solutions started actually getting analysed
--> side effect: documentation started being generated
- Criticism was shown in all directions
- Technically interesting things were asked
- There was no word, ever, again
- News of a parallel CI arrived

So, yes, the issue is pretty much non-technical and feelly; it involves
communication, which in a volunteer project is a very important thing
and not to be so easily dismissed.

Incidentally, Joerg nailed it:

Even establishing (and following!) a very silly, simple protocol saying
something like "a person responsible for a resource will check in once a
week and guide/solve any blockers" would be helpful in the short-middle
term; notice it doesn't have to be the same person, it can easily be
rotatory, that's the whole point of having multiple responsible people.
