What if it's some junior given a job beyond their abilities, and struggling manfully using whatever tools they have to hand. Is it worth publicly trashing their name? What does their name really add to this article?

It discourages other from doing the same. It might not be much, but discussing various made up "what if ..." scenarios also doesn't add much. We can just stick to the facts.
A good lesson. If you as an employer look at this history, and handle it in the interview appropriately (what did you learn / do better now for example) you can figure out if they did.
I'm sure lots won't, but if that is you as an employer you're worth nothing.
What, understand, review, and accept a two-line patch is now a job beyond a junior's ability? Beyond ability of anyone who can call themselves a "programmer," much less a "maintainer"?
As a certified former newborn, I should tell that finding the tit as a newborn is way harder, and yet here we all are.
"Struggling manfully," my arse, I don't know if the bar can go any lower...
