This was a maintainer that was CCd on a Rust wrapper to a subsystem he maintains as a courtesy, immediately replying that that code shouldn't live in that subsystem and blocking the patch set from being merged by NAking, but the change was already not in the subsystem but rather the rust subdirectory, which gives the impression he didn't read the patch to begin with. After he was told this, he said that having multiple languages is a cancer that would kill the maintainability of Linux and he would block it any way he could. That's a very different situation to the one you describe.
