No that's 100% accurate.
Marcan is probably a little acutely upset not just because he was told off, but also because Linus hasn't waded into the actual issue at hand (which he needs to, not even Greg K-h can answer it). But that issue is less urgent and it's probably reasonable for Linus to:
a) Mull it over before making a rash decision b) let tempers calm.
I would guess Linus will wait til Monday and is probably also having some off-list chats anyway.
I couldn't speak to off-list chats, but this has been going on for awhile.
The statement that they were going to maintain this without the support of the DMA maintainer was made 22 days ago [1]. That statement was rejected 11 days ago [2]. Linus was explicitly asked to intervene 10 days ago [3]. (Too complete the timeline Hector Martin first got involved 4 days ago, Linus intervened about that yesterday).
I don't know why you think Linus will suddenly choose to address this Monday.
