No, I wasn't "asked to leave".
Since some time ago the debian qt(kde "team" is nothing but 2 or 3 persons
doing the 99% of the work and some kind of "council of elders" which doesn't
do much more than making noise in the IRC and bossing around those who
actually do the work.
You, and some other members of the "council of elders" (some of them are just
part of the alioth project and barely did anything useful in the latest few
years) were hindering my work. Since you were continuously hindering my work,
and you still do (see the subtitlecomposer hijacking for example) we had flames
very often. I think you did your best to demotivate me in order to leave the
"team" on "my own will". And since I didn't leave "on my own will" you used
the flames we had to expell me from the "team". Congratulations, because that
flames we had were quite useful to your political agenda.
You also told me the "team" would be better without me. Several months later,
I wonder what's exactly the improvement.

That's your interpretation of that "diversity statement". As we can see, how
it works in practice is: people like you are almost free to do whatever they
want, including expelling people even if it's at the expense of the quality of
the software provided by the project.
I have been monitoring what happened after I left and I have seen you did
various technical mistakes, for instance the latest uncoordinated transition
to kde 4.11, or not uploading virtuoso 6.1.6 along with kde 4.10. That kind of
things wouldn't have happened if I were allowed to do my job. So not only the
status of kde in debian wasn't improved: it's also slightly worse. At the same
time I have been providing various versions of kde in siduction almost the
same day of the release, which is an example of what can be done without the
burden of the "council of elders" and some other undesirable things of debian.
