You can do that without misrepresenting the issues that got him banned. This happens almost every time there's a discussion on Xorg-related stuff, and I'm tired of seeing the maintainers getting slandered over and over.
So, here are a few direct links to the comments/issues/MRs (in chronological order), some very minor stuff, some bigger. I also didn't cherrypick examples where the maintainers acted perfectly, but IMO metux is far more difficult as you can see. Note I didn't search very long, so keep looking if you want to see more before you're sure:

You can do that without misrepresenting the issues that got him banned. This happens almost every time there's a discussion on Xorg-related stuff, and I'm tired of seeing the maintainers getting slandered over and over.
So, here are a few direct links to the comments/issues/MRs (in chronological order), some very minor stuff, some bigger. I also didn't cherrypick examples where the maintainers acted perfectly, but IMO metux is far more difficult as you can see. Note I didn't search very long, so keep looking if you want to see more before you're sure:
- Small procedural issues: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests...
- metux being difficult regarding work with nvidia: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/095e8ee...
- metux causes regression & it stays unaddressed for weeks, even though he was pushing on other branches: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests...
- metux is marking threads as resolved when comments are unaddressed: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests...
- metux causing unnecessary API breakage in commits marked trivial: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/work_items/176...
- metux isn't properly testing his PRs: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/work_items/179...
- metux breaking downstream again: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests...
None of these are terrible on their own, but IMO taken together I can't fault the maintainers at all.
