Correct - nobody stated so far that anybody spat in the soup.

As you already brought up "Assume people mean well" from GNOME's code of
conduct in your initial response, this can also be applied to your own
assumptions when you try to intrepret things between the lines.

Plus even if the form of bringing up an important problem might
sometimes be questionable, I still prefer this to not bringing up the
problem at all. And there is a problem in the GNOME community.

Exactly. I couldn't agree more right now.

Again the fact that this thread is came up means that there is a problem. And as we can see both designers and developers are not happy. Ignoring the problem, going offline to get work done or whatever, is not going to solve this problem. It will just make it worse. 

I think we first need to:

1) agree that there is a problem

2) figure out what he problem is

3) figure out how the problem was caused

4) agree that we want to solve this problem

5) find a way to solve the problem

Cheers
