Was the product impacted? Did Mauro get his commit together?
If the product was undamaged he was just rude. A fuckup means he hurt the mission, he hurt his goals
He did hurt the mission. Plenty of kernel maintainers have left, and those were people who had been with the project for years. Losing experienced people to toxicity 1000% harms both the project and the product.
Did that demonstrably happen?
If there's a surplus of talent (sounds like Mauro was dead weight) then at most he was just rude on Mauro's way out the door.
I'm not saying it's cool to be rude, but if it's Linus' review then you get what you get. To be butthurt about someone being rude to you should motivate you to learn your code interactions better. (In this case error handling)
Yes people left and were not heard at the time:

No, was the product reduced or damaged, not did people leave. No one cares about individuals, if they can be replaced without blocking the progress of the project.
Those articles are very whiney. They chose to work on that project, with a singular leader. It's his house, his rules, his standards.
Bad bot
Meh
