I think bcachefs is not the problem. The problem seems to be the sole maintainer who is notoriously abusive and apparently unable to work with other kernel developers.

I'm sure if another maintainer came along, one that wasn't barred for being abusive towards other maintainers, there would be no problem getting the project back in.
