This has been an ongoing issue for him for as long as I can remember
being part of the PHP project which is well over a decade. PHP is not
the only project where he has been abusive to:
https://pagure.io/CoC/issue/6

Since this is an endless battle, I do not see any other option than
taking the battle to legal authorities in Germany (assuming that is
where he is located based on name/email locale), not sure if the
NetzDG or STGB 185 applies here, but it is worth finding out as this
abuse has gone on for far too long now and it is time to make it end.
