I'm totally being helpful. If you increase the sincerity of the code (and remove the stupid non-apology and change the spiteful name) and provide more diverse oversight then you will have an immediate positive impact.

It could be seen as spiteful, or it could be seen as a compromise. Bear in mind that not all kernel developers have the same views on civility, codes of conducts, etc. and some will not want to lose face by being seen to "capitulate completely to SJWs" (as some of them would probably see it). Arguably it's better to have this kind of compromise than nothing at all.

Perfect is the enemy of the good. Change is made by small steps, not giant leaps.

That said, if you know people in the Linux community who are more qualified than one or more of the people in the TAB, totally encourage them to apply and encourage TAB to accept them.
