Is everybody with mental health issues required to offer them up for public discussion at every opportunity?

His mental health wasn’t relevant to the attack from any report I’ve read. That makes it a bit odd and more than a little thoughtless to highlight it.

People slow down on projects for a ton of reasons. The guy could have been in chemo or had a kid. The result would be the same: he’d need a co-maintainer to keep the pace. The attackers would’ve capitalized on that. They’d plainly been waiting for whatever opportunity would work.
