Beyond the reputational harm to the Rust community, he actively engaged in attention-seeking behavior, something that is against the Rust Code of Conduct. (He's far too intelligent to not know that it was attention-seeking behavior.)

The Rust Code of Conduct doesn't apply to him at all. That is something that the Rust maintainers are following.

I can't speak to his motivations, but nothing that you've said seems to be against any law or any sort of agreement he's made. This is his software, he can do with it what he wants. If you don't like it just don't use it.

You can't police him, you can complain about him, but you seem to making up violations he has committed that are mostly made up, rather than based on any actual agreement he has entered into.

Huh? He's a Rust project member and part of the Rust library API team: https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/library. As such, the Rust Code of Conduct applies to him.

You are right he is. So then they can kick him off if they think he's in violation. This isn't some solemn oath he's taken.
