It shouldn’t be up to the victim to sort that out. The only thing that could perhaps have changed here is for the university wide ban to have been announced earlier. Perhaps the kernel devs assumed that no one would be so shameless as to continue to send students back to someone they had already abused.
The person in power here is Greg KH. It seems like he can accept/reject/ban anyone for any reason with little recourse for the counter-party. I'm willing to withhold judgement on these allegations until the truth comes out. Seems like many here want retribution before any investigation.
You realise that the evidence is already there plain for everyone to see. It's even laid out in the email thread we're commenting on. This sort of linguistic weaseling doesn't help anyone, least of all folks who may not understand the entire context of what went down here (which is much worse than it might seem on the face of it).
In an evolving situation, I hesitate to immediately accept something as fact just because its in a comment. I don't believe in online "mob justice", nor in guilt by association.
You seem convinced, I am not. And as such, we just have a disagreement, no biggie. :)

I am expressing an opinion, just as you are.
