The thing that this article seems to be studiously avoiding mentioning is Kent Overstreet's repeated refusal to adhere to testing code quality, patch, and release standards for the kernel, such that Linus has had to call him out before and his dispute with the Linux Kernel Code of Conduct Committee. This allows them to paint Kent as some reasonable, rational person that's just being unwarrantedly attacked, left and right by everyone in the mailing list. But that's really bullshit. Honestly, I wish people would stop sharing stuff from the register because it's a hack news blog.
