A healthy community can have vetoes for people actions and never mis-use them. Vetoes are supposed to have a justification for the veto attached to it. Vetoes based on discrimination should probably result in the vetoer getting removed from the PMC if they refuse to rescind their veto. It sounds like your community should not be allowing vetoes. Start the process of making that change and ask for board support if you need it since there is precedent for this very thing. That newcommitter page cost at least one other project some serious time. -Alex
