Ah I see, I wondered where the heck is a reply e-mail, I didn't see any reply email spelled out anywhere and didn't notice the button, I thought maybe the archive site deliberately wanted to hide the email adderesses.

Kinda looks like everyone in the thread might be sock puppet? ...except for the xz maintainer. Oof.

Now I'm just even more sad. Dammit Internet.

Assuming the original maintainer wasn't in on the con, someone should check on him. Apparently, he already got issues and being gaslit, manipulated and deceived on this level for years, considering the potential consequences and harm caused/barely averted, the unwanted attention, possibly police investigation following... all that may be a bit much.

He replied that he is in holiday and will check in after Easter. And that he and Jia's GH accounts are inaccessible. More details too, but that's the crux as I understand it.
