I do have a clue about Sven's behaviour in the debian-ocaml-maint team, which he founded and which I joined something like 5 years ago. That team collaboratively maintains some 30 packages now and Sven is still an active part of it. He has always been a valuable contributor of the team, happy to hacking and to discuss with other people in order to reach common goals. Discussing with him may be sometimes difficult, that's true, but hey: if we are supposed to be a community, we need to learn to accept each other peculiarities! In my experience, Sven has always done more good than harm to the debian-ocaml-maint team. So far, I have never took the time to study the detail of the expulsion process, so sorry if this mail is inappropriate. But be sure that I will do everything I can as a DD to stop Sven's expulsion.
