@AndresFreundTec its kind of sad reading the mailing list for the old maintainer to xz-utils / liblzma. Dude was single-handedly maintaining it after creating it as a hobby project, he got driven into the ground and he passed the project off to the culprit after being urged to (rudely) to give it up. This should be a wake up call tbh this shouldn't happen to projects that have on maintainer and that literally hold the entire tech industry and linux ecosystem on their shoulders

@sweet @AndresFreundTec https://www.mail-archive.com/xz-devel@tukaani.org/msg00566.html this thread, right? IDK if the people here were other sockpuppets or just happened to steer in the direction that Jia Tan desired, still read in retrospective feels really like a team up to force Lasse to give up control of the project.
