That commit is from Aditya Pakki who I don't believe is affiliated with the paper in question, whose only authors are Qiushi Wu, and Kangjie Lu.

We have 4 people, with the students Quishu Wu and Aditya Pakki intruducing the faulty patches, and the 2 others, Prof Kangjie Lu and Ass.Prof Wengwen Wang patching vulnerabilities in the same area. Banning the leader seems ok to me, even if he produced some good fixes and SW to detect it. The only question is Wang who is now in Georgia, and was never caught. Maybe he left Lu at umn because of his questionable ethics.

At least one of Wang’s patches has been double reviewed and the reversion NACK’d - in other words it was a good patch.

I've looked at all of Wang's patches and they seemed to be all good.

The main culprit seems to be only Quishu Wu. He is also the one who wrote the paper.
