I dunno, my snarkometer is going off.

> Thanks for raising these 6 examples of sites publishing XML files. We can add it to the existing list of 357 sites

This feels like an email I'd get from HR. The point of the topic was the ease in finding those 6, not to discuss those 6 specifically. Maybe being direct pisses people off more than this corporate-styled language, though.

I think he's responding to the fact that someone felt the need to create a new issue instead of attaching the information to the existing issue. It makes managing the work more difficult.
The very first issue was locked and limited to collaborators.
It's also worth noting that mfreed7 of Chromium (the person who initiated the proposal) is not the one who came up with the 357 number; that was zcorpan of Mozilla ( https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11523#issuecomment-320... ), so mfreed7 is talking about the list they got from zcorpan.
You’re saying a nice guy, who is not obligated to engage and chooses to, is not allowed to mock an intellectually dishonest issue?
