Look, I'm not saying he's a good person. But a DMCA is warranted when copyright isn't followed. As annoying as this guy is, it's still his work and he should be identified in the copyright of that project (unless all of his code has been removed/rewritten. Then a counter-notice should be filed.)

If the copyright notice is wrong, then it's wrong, but then you get into a very weird legal quagmire where people were committing code under someone else's copyright. I don't know if they were giving up their copyright in that case or not. And if there's something wrong with the DMCA notice (like if it was submitted for no reason), a counter-notice should be filed. And if this person is in the wrong, he'll get more than he bargained for when he began throwing his weight around.

Someone's going to get what they deserve. I don't know who, but someone will.
