Is there any discussion about him being removed from the project on a mailing list or some other channel?

I can't find a "why" in the handful of PRs I opened.

There’s some drama in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1797

Wow: “xrandr doesn't work anymore on xorg-git” “I do not think this should be specifically on you, it is not unreasonable to expect that the author of a change tries their change before even submitting it upstream.” does not give a warm fuzzy feeling about the author of the at-fault patch leading a fork.
