FWIW, I don't think that's what people are expressing an issue with. 
Rather, while you were marked as committer no one else was working on it 
even thought they might have had you not been marked. I think (or at 
least hope) people understand that things happen, especially when $JOB 
intervenes.

OTOH, once you were no longer marked as committer I don't think it's 
fair to hold you accountable for people not stepping back up.
