I find it bemusing that we'd expect kernel developers to leave because we're insisting that they not act in an abusive manner.

In any case, important projects often live on beyond the developer's interest in it. Just look at GlibC. The maintainer was notoriously toxic and difficult to work with. Sure, he was competent, but his departure opened the door for improvements to be made and for other smart people to join the team.

There are more than enough talented and well socialized kernel developers that, if all the abusive ones left, Linux development would continue just fine. Quite possibly accelerate.
