Devrel have warned him numerous times to behave properly and stop
attacking other devs and users. How is that not involving him?

He's also difficult in marking several valid bugs INVALID, refusing to
reopen them and refusing to assign them to the maintainers in several
cases.

Besides I'd like to remind everybody that spending a lot of time on
Gentoo, getting lots of things done, having a tough job etc. doesn't in
any way justify bad behaviour. If you're having a tough time and
starting to react badly it's time to ask ombudsman, proctors or maybe
even devrel to help solve the problem or maybe even take a vacation from
Gentoo. Failing to do so is quite often just going to make things worse
and ultimately result in suspensions or even forced retirement.

Sure, he gets things done. And it would be much better if he worked
together with other devs in a friendly way and stopped getting in the
way of maintainers as he has done on many occasions.

That's completely unrelated to the current discussion and there's
absolutely no need for such attacks.
