I think a good summary of the shit going on would be::
"On Github, Poe categorizes his resignation from TPF Board as due to "burnout"—"I stopped reading the meeting minutes. And that's when I realized I was burned out. Or burnt out. Or whatever. I just didn't care."
"If you don't understand the following, consider yourself lucky. I've no desire to explain this mess," Poe writes. Although Poe refuses to go into much detail, he appears to be referring to the ongoing strife between Sawyer X and developer Matt Trout, which ultimately led to Sawyer's exodus from Perl."

As for Trout::
"Trout's ban was due in part to 2019 conference behavior which fellow developer Aaron Crane described elusively as philosemitic antisemitism—and in part to unspecified "ongoing behavior" from Trout which makes other community members uncomfortable. The Board later reviewed the CAT's actions, deleted its "transparency" reports, and changed Trout's permaban to a one year ban.

Trout, for his part, later told The Register that he was upset about having hurt Sawyer and that he accepted the revised one-year ban as "the best thing for [Trout's] friends and community.""
--I'm still trying to dig into what more specifically is being referenced to the 'ongoing behavior', but that may mean digging through threads n such which will take time.
