That's an interesting question. Not one easily answered. How do you measure it? Though, there is a difference in an asshole and a bigot. Sociopathy and bigotry are both bad, but entirely different things. Are you aware of a significant project with a bigotted, publicly visible maintainer?
Mark Shuttleworth at Linuxcon. He did apologize for it though. I hope that once the rage dies down, people will try to respectfully communicate with OP's guy. Maybe he's hard-headed in his views, or maybe he'd be more willing to listen and update them when people aren't calling for his head.
