I wonder if a public discussion aimed at developing such a policy would clue Anatoly in (probably not). I wonder what other communities have done.
Wrt. anatoly techtonik? I don't know (beyond episodal knowledge with Rietveld and Roundup)
In general for this kind of behavior: I still think he fits the description in

I think he is poisenous to the Python project. If you haven't seen the video, please watch it all.
Interesting watch. Thank you for posting it. The first point from that talk that fits the bill extremely well is:
Lack of Cooperation
- WIlling to complain, but not help fix anything
The second point that I found particularly applicable is:
Disinfecting your community
Is this person draining attention and focus?
Is this person paralyzing the project?
I say 'yes' for the first and 'no' for the second. Although his behavior is very draining I wouldn't go as far to say it is "paralyzing" (i.e. preventing significant amounts of work from being accomplished).
In any case, I think David's original point is a good one. It is nice to have some documented community principles to point to.
