Indeed. (To repeat myself: the people responsible have decided to do
nothing in response to Linus's comments, and that appears to be the
rough consensus here, so there is no need to continue that
discussion.)

We should definitely not ignore people's behavour in other venues when
we consider whether and how to invite them into our community, what
response we should make to their behaviour in Debiann spaces, and so
on.
That does not mean applying our own standards willy-nilly to other
communities and other times. There is a middle ground: we should take
such behaviour into account.
Ian.
