It’s completely unrelated to Homebrew. We have zero connection to anything related to Tea and Max hasn’t been involved with Homebrew for the best part of a decade.

Mike McQuaid, Homebrew Project Leader and Homebrew maintainer for the last 15 years.

Hey, thanks for responding! That's reassuring, but...how much input would Max still have to Homebrew if he chose to "return"? Like, if tomorrow Max decides that Homebrew is a great vector for another crypto scam, will the existing group of maintainers be able (and willing) to reject any changes in that direction?

[mikemcquaid]

Yes. Max would have to have all his PRs reviewed until he contributes enough to be a maintainer and then would have to run for any/all committees or the Project Leader role in elections. He has the same chances anyone else on the internet does.
