I have yet to see significant sexism/racism in open source, but I have seen an insurmountable amount of drama, bad behavior, prosecution and prejudice from people proclaiming to fight against it.

The author of the message is BurntSushi. I have seen him communicate multiple times before and he seems to be a reasonable and intelligent person.

I cannot imagine that this action is frivolous.

I believe it. I don't think it is a significant problem in OSS that we suddenly need behavior rules but there can still be instances of something like that occurring. The most convincing action was to not release details in my opinion.
