| From galgalesh, the snap package maintainer, in the linked forum post: > I was just linked to this thread from our issue tracker > As a maintainer for this snap package, it’s mind-boggling to me that, even after almost two weeks, the store team did not contact me at all. I had to find this out myself from users reporting it on our bug tracker. > After almost two weeks, the maintainer of the snap has not received any official communication about this, but @roadmr was able to provide this tiny sliver of info in a thread on this forum. From the original comment of this particular thread, also from galgalesh: > Snap Maintainer here, this is because of a DMCA takedown request from lawyers representing Signal. Canonical is currently working with them to clear things up. > Canonical's communication to me was initially lacking due to issues in their process, the process has been amended and I'm back in the loop again. Seems pretty clear that he was neither aware of it being taken down nor the reason, so I think it's safe to assume that Signal didn't contact the maintainer directly. |
You could be right, but I think another possibility is that the maintainer did get contacted earlier by Signal, and just didn't mentally connect the dots between that and his Snap package being pulled.
Note that I don't know how realistic this is, I'm just trying to be fair in my assumptions.
