"Last week, the Gentoo project entered the lowest point of its 7-year old existence. The single most telling statement attesting to this fact is this brief excerpt from the current issue of Gentoo Weekly News. 'The following developers recently joined the Gentoo project: Daniel Robbins; the following developers recently left the Gentoo project: Daniel Robbins' Yes, this is the same Daniel Robbins who founded Gentoo Linux back in the year 2000 and who left the project in 2004 for personal reasons. He officially re-joined the Gentoo development team two weeks ago - only to resign a few days later. The reason? Strong personal attacks by some of the current developers of the project."

It would seem to me that drobbins as fallen victim to the script-kiddie developers that Gentoo nurtured over time. What seemed like a a valid attempt to bring focus and scope to disruptive bantering between separate projects backfired when faced with flame throwing immature personalities. I think trying to ban the guy might have been misplaced effort with what might have been good intent but as I said before what you have is developers who may not have the experience or understanding that maintaining and establishing a separation of concerns[1] is something to be sought after.
