@malwareminigun To the best of my knowledge that is not true. What has been reconstructed of Jia (for lack of a better name) getting added was mostly via sock-puppets and pressure tactics. The original maintainer was effectively bullied into adding them, relatively cursory checks showed this person didn't exist until shortly before the attack started.

@coderanger It doesn't matter if they were "bullied", the fact is that they did it. JiaTan being able to push a release was not a surprise to the original maintainers.
