Wayne, that is true. Personally, I am only aware of one guy who ever got booted. His problem was using the ASF trademark in his own services and refusing to back down. Because it was a trademark issue, the ASF Board stepped in and did its thing. The Maven project doesn't have any egregious issues like that. As it is, the Board doesn't get involved in project politics so there's really no recourse to reign in undesirable community choices by PMC members. The project has to solve those issues through their own deliberations.
