It may be the case that Lunny forgot he has a moral obligation to the Gitea community that elected him year after year. Even though there is no legally binding contract.

What was done is morally unacceptable. But that can be easily fixed. Just give it all back!

It could be have been solved even more simply by making it a legal obligation.

Drama like this is God's way of teaching hippies why we have contract law.

I don't see why this wouldn't already be legally binding. He was elected, but he accepted the mandate which is described by this document.
AFAIK he did not sign anything so no actual contract was formed
Just because a physical contract wasn't signed does nor mean there isn't a legally binding agreement, see promisory estoppel.
