The project relevance is the question of the [[Rachel Marsden]] BLP complaints (Ms Marsden has complained about past versions), which is how they met. And Jimbo is a frequent first contact for famous people with a BLP problem - though in practice info@wikimedia.org is precisely as effective - and his role in such is valuable to the project, so making sure that's clear is a relevant project concern.
(His blog statement says he has taken care not to cross the streams on this one, FWIW. The same expectation would apply to any experienced BLP editor - if you get to know the subject of an article personally, you would be expected not to do a BLP cleanup on it.)
