God that was horrible to read. Can you imagine trying to do anything with someone so toxic? "Can you pass the cheese please? NO BECAUSE YOU SAID BAD THINGS ON TWITTER!"
These people are not acting in love. They are acting in hate trying to protect those they love. It is shameful. It is how wars start.
@elia's last commit to Opal was about two weeks ago, and that issue dates from 2015. That doesn't seem to add up to what you seem to argue that it does.
It's enough to establish that Coraline's goal is to collect the scalps of people she disagrees with, and the Contributor Covenant is one prong of her strategy. Whether or not she was successful is another matter, but as for intent, it's right there in the title -- "Transphobic maintainer should be removed from project". The Contributor Covenant is quick and clear to emphasize that removal is a penalty for violation of the code, or for not taking sufficient steps as a maintainer to ensure that guilty parties are sufficiently unpersoned.
I'm opposed to racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia too, but damnit, if I'm a maintainer and Alex Jones has a good patch, I'm going to clip out the attached verbiage about Hillary Clinton being a literal demon and roll the patch into my next rc. I'd be doing the project a disservice not to.
The OED has entries that were submitted by an insane murderer from the asylum (look up William Chester Minor).
