It reads like this was a form letter that was to be sent out to all their actual paid partners, and after the massive game of telephone that is corporate hierarchy, it somehow became all dependencies they had contacts for. And somewhere someone filled out a form, probably years ago, with his email on it as the maintainer of a dependency they use (because leaving it blank isn't allowed). And he got caught up in that mass email, totally dumb, but also could easily see how it can happen.
