It is an issue because it makes the rest possible. After all, people
whose main motivation is code quality would want their code reviewed.

I was not ready to go that way, but since you put that on the tale, be
aware that I will hold you to it.

If they happened in the future and not in the past (decisions should not
be retroactive), I would consider this:

https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2018-December/237979.html
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2018-December/238166.html

(I notice that you did call him out on the second, and I appreciate it)
to count as strikes one and two.

I am not very surprised to see technical types ignoring sociological
evidence, but it is saddening.
