One farcical recent example [0] was the pull request to add Vasil Dimov as a maintainer where despite many ACKs from other maintainers and other long term contributors two maintainers (fanquake and Gloria) refused to discuss it on the pull request or on IRC. It took almost 5 months for Gloria to comment on the pull request despite many requests from me on the PR and on IRC. I even requested that they attend the weekly Core Dev IRC meeting to discuss it which they didn’t attend.
Interesting. Just yesterday, I read the controversy about adding Gloria as a maintainer here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25524#issuecomment-1172518409

All the maintainer drama, while super serious and important, is straight popcorn.
There's never going to be a point where everyone is happy with it but it could also be improved a lot.
