I follow -current quite a lot, and I only ever saw one example where
he lost his cool.  I don't know about -developers, private mail, etc.

I took the "official" explanation at face value back then.  I no
longer do.  It looks more like he was at the wrong end of a
personality clash.  These things happen and this by itself wouldn't be
so bad, but it comes together with everything else in the past year or
two.

Not likely, he has his own space now which is for the best and his
project looks exciting.  And when he recently commented on -current on
the dynamic /bin issue and gave his ideas on how one can use ipc to
implement nsswitch in static binaries, he got jumped on by Scott Long.
