> You're misrepresenting the problem. There was never a bug or an issue
The story originated from the author of this article [0] posting a bug report issue [1].
Why are you accusing others of misrepresenting the problem while doing so yourself?

Please stick with the facts and thus with primary sources. Part of the blame of this shitstorm lies in those who insist in misrepresenting the problem with bullshit blog posts and "he said she said" nonsense.

Unfortunately this is not the first time Rust soundness/unsafe zealots are aggressive and create shitstorms in the community.

I linked to an archive of the GitHub issue in question and the reporter's own blog article about it. Are those not primary sources? And you've linked to Reddit?
You're misrepresenting the problem. There was never a bug or an issue, only a bunch of opinionated and vocal users who thought that bullying a maintainer is an acceptable way to get him to accept their patches. The maintainer rejected the bullies' actions and in turn the bullies ramped up their attacks, which ultimately convinced the maintainer that closing up shop is the best way to stop having to deal with these bullies.
