There never were any specific developers. The post was about what developers can do if they feel they are unfairly pushed out of the community by the new CoC.

My take on the matter is that the Linux community in the past did a pretty good job of not accepting of talk of racism, misogyny, bigotry, and that this CoC will only be used as a political bludgeon.

There was one big contributor saying the darndest things. But he recently realized this.

So on one hand a CoC seems less needed now, but there were/are a lot of people very vocally defending that style.
