I'm using my Linux kernel maintainer experience to attempt to illustrate the kind of dynamic I've witnessed. People who cry foul when one hasn't occurred are "special". And a lot of this talk, thread and topic isn't rooted in anything real. Just a lot of people with hurt feelings talking in the abstract.
Framing the Linux kernel community as a caustic rat's nest of evil is one way to spin it. It just isn't reality.

I have, in fact. They paint quite a clear picture.

Hey, look, yet another example of exactly what I referred to in the comment you're replying to and attempting to deny.

Like we have plenty of public evidence of bad behaviour on the parts of maintainers (myself included I'm sure), but I'm interested in knowing how large the problem of developers crying fowl and escalating things on rejection using codes of conduct.
I've never experienced this in any of the project I've worked in as a maintainer, or as the top-level maintainer for the second largest subsystem in the kernel, so I'm surprised that it happens as frequently as you state.
