I think the "How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People"
presentation may be helpful here.

Summary:
<http://www.oreillynet.com/conferences/blog/2006/07/oscon_how_open_source_projects.html>

Video: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSFDm3UYkeE>

Slides:
<http://www.slideshare.net/vishnu/how-to-protect-yourhow-to-protect-your-open-source-project-from-poisonous-people>

Some of the points that I think apply especially to Gentoo would be:
