I do not think, that I'm gonna like Hani (one should not mismatch "telling the truth" and impoliteness, they may be related sometimes, but they can live without each other), but as long as his activities are within the project, then I do think that it is up to the project to decide, whether they want him as a committer or not. The reason is simple: Within a certain boundary, a developers visibility (and vision, for that matter), are restricted to the project. A developers personal style may possibly harm the other developers, contributors, and users, but then: It is up to them whether they can live with it or not. For that matter, *they* are the community, and not Apache members, or developers who live in another project. Of course, there *is* a boundary. For example, one could not tolerate, if a committer would knowingly violate other people's copyrights or abuse his accounts. But such things aren't the subject of this discussion. Look at it like this: If Hani's name weren't on the initial list of committers, but he we coopted later, then the whole discussion would not arise. And I cannot see, why we should distinguish between these cases.
