The parent comment still stands. Whether the maintainer was in the right or in the wrong, whether they were being a jerk or not, if he wasn’t listening to the community why not just fork the code? GitHub’s UI makes that super easy.

Just because it's easy to fork in the UI, doesn't mean it's easy to get people to switch. Some people are actually concerned about the community as a whole, rather than their own projects.

He explicitly made the repo private over handing it to someone else.
