Wait, what?

A maintainer of RubyGems was forcibly removed from the RubyGems GitHub org — which was renamed to Ruby Central — along with every other maintainer. Then access was restored, then revoked again. There was no explanation, no communication, and no understandable reasoning for this.

And still! If there is an "official" statement, I can't find one on https://rubycentral.org/.

This wildly transcends "issues with both internal and external communication" or "we're just a bunch of makers who can't be expected to be good at organization or communication" (to highly paraphrase TFA). This is an absolutely disastrous breach of the community's trust.

I saw that. The title did not make me think it was related. But fair enough.


Not "a maintainer", many of the most prominent ones and trustworthy over the years.
