> at this point I just see him as holding other committers contributions as hostage

No he's not, and you're just trying to be outraged. Just fork the code if you don't trust him. Oh, but you don't want to take his place as the maintainer? Maybe deep down you know that there's still a difference between being in charge and submitting the occasional pull request?

Your actions contradict your words here.

I thought that author of Faker don't ask a new maintainer, he just ask for money. So I think this point is valid.

A maintainer role could be to just accept some occasional pull request if he don't want to make it a bigger project.

There is no more code. Even if someone wanted to fork or maintain a fork, they can't. Try to understand what's actually going on before making silly comments.
