I do agree (and I think everybody does) but it is extremely difficult to solve, 
and I don't think a council can do it. What we need is clear policy that would 
avoid such problem on:

* when it is ok to remove/add a copyright line
* when code should be committed with(out) review
* what to do with review that have received no attention (we currently have a 
couple patches on review by external contributors that have not receive any 
review or no final approving/disapproving after several weeks, all hope is not 
lost since at least one of them has submited a gsoc proposal ;) )

And we also need that everybody takes on themselves to not respond to what 
they perceive is a personal attack, it can only goes worse by answering. And 
if there is an obvious attack, let someone else step in and say the red line 
has been crossed (or ask someone else opinion).
