Well... the maintainer also shouldn't blow their stack

You can certainly imagine ways an authority figure could have defused a situation of a maintainer blowing their stack, but your framing kinda absolves the maintainer of any accountability for their actions.

A team member who needs a lot of defusing is doing something wrong, and needs to learn how to defuse themselves.
