Doesn't look like it to me. When reading your post above I was about to
reply with the identical phrase, before I thought, "let's see what ajt
has to say in reply first".
Herbert has made an awesome contribution for a long period of time,
to the Debian project.
His quittting is not "useful" to you (/Debian), but I imagine it could
be particularly useful to Herbert.
And how selfish would it be of us to begrudge him such a change/ new
freedoms, etc?

You did seem to be complaining that he "acted rather prominently", which
makes no sense. I take it as a serious question - "what's wrong with
acting prominently?".
This whole conversation is about "putting yourself in another's shoes".
