It's his project. If he wants to act in a way you call "childish" - not that I agree with the characterization - neither I, you, or anyone else has much of anything to complain about.
If he says it's production ready, I have to assume he thinks it is. If you don't think so, you don't use it.
Open source projects dependent on a single person goes away all the time. If you aren't prepared to maintain it yourself for your use, don't use it.
Honesty is something we should expect, as well as some amount of mutual respect.
It's abundantly clear that anyone expecting him to dance to their tune was clearly lacking in respect. If you do a patch that isn't accepted you haven't lost anything, and have no grounds to complain, unless possibly if you had a prior agreement between you about you making that particular patch.
Many maintainers are absolutely inhumanly awesome, but that doesn't give us the right to expect anything at all from those who is "only" giving us tons of more or less awesome code!
