Let's stop bullshitting, nobody here is going to contribute to Gentoo and is now put off because of this policy change.

What we're looking at is mostly JavaScript monkeys who feel personally offended because they're unable to differentiate criticism of their tools from criticism of their own personal character.

The outrage is purely theoretical.

As a JavaScript monkey I believe you have a point, and this was the core of my original question.

How many contributors to gentoo are upset by this? Probably none.

How many potential contributors to gentoo are upset by this? Maybe dozens?

I'll be amazed if this has any notable negative outcomes for Gentoo and their contributions.

I suspect most of the people upset by this are the sort to dump a pile of unreviewed slop on the maintainers & get upset when it gets rejected, i.e. they're the problem this is aimed at fixing.

No offense intended to JavaScript monkeys, I'm a JavaScript monkey too. And a PHP monkey, which I think is worse.
