They suspended the account, they didn't cancel it. On a Sunday morning when you're fixing a security hole and you know who penetrated it you suspend that person's account. On Monday morning you figure out what to do with them.

If the vulnerability is that serious should they have not taken the site down instead?
Is there no middle ground?

Haha what. Do you maintain any sites? Tell us what ones. I want to warn all of your users that the admin is someone who will disable an account of someone who committed to master on a project that is not theirs and feel he has accomplished something.
