Regardless of how it reflects, Hogie still runs the project. This isn't a democracy. There are leaders and there are peons, but everyone is below Hogie. Where image (the idea, not the person) doesn't matter, code does matter. Contributions matter. Complaints matter if Hogie or his choice lieutenants agree. All of this argument is for a moot point. Hogie can do as he pleases.
So let it be written. So let it be done.
Hogie is a good project leader, and the project is good for having him. I don't see any undue punishments being dealt, and I do see much reward.
If you would like to criticize the developer recruitment process and explain why it failed to entice you, I'm sure Hogie would like to listen, as that affects the project. His rudeness to a rude user does not affect the project.
