It's quite concerning that ailin-nemui, who made the prior commit migrating to Libera currently isn't listed as part of the irssi organization[1]. According to GitHub stats, this is the person behind most of the code in irssi[2].

Worth noting that it's quite common for people to not be publicly listed as part of Github organizations. The archive.org snapshot of the organization page from February [1] shows the same member count, so suspect that's the reason.

My bad, I didn't know that was a thing.

Quite clearly they had sanctioned commit access to irssi over such a long period of time, so I don't think there's anything untoward about that.

In all likelihood, they probably just had their commit access revoked, or are just hiding their membership as part of the organization.
