That is, Linus calling out Kees for being actively malicous.
Personally, I would have contacted Konstantin privately to lock (at least temporarily) Kees account. Then I would have sought an explanation from Kees (on the mailing list), and waited for his response. And I would have done this before calling him out as being guilty of active maliciousness.
