I completely agree.

When the community cannot limit the actions/flames/insults of one
person, this WILL fall back to the entire community.
(At least for people, who will be using mate on Fedora).

As people prefer to leave the project instead of opening a ticket on
fesco, insults by Dan nothing will change.
By the way, Wolfgang is not the first one, who steps back because of
insults of Dan, just the first one who posts here about it as he wants
to continue on packages where Dan has no interests in. For proof, see
the communication above and [1].

When someone insults people, so that they step back or completely
leave the project, they should be kicked out. But as I'm not a mate
user/maintainer or Dan's sponsor, I'm not directly affected by that,
so we'll need to wait till someone is concerned enough about it...
