Totally excessive. In my opinion, people should treat this incident with the "blameless post mortem" mentality in mind.
Don't blame the individual for an innocent mistake (we don't know if he knew that it would trigger 400k notifications). He is young and might be inexperienced, so we should be forgiving.
Think about why the system is set up in a way that an untrusted contributor can trigger so many notifications with a PR that is of little value.
That is a much harder problem to solve, so that is why some people go to the easy solution ("ban him, he is an evil bad person, gross social misconduct").
