I think it's a little ironic that someone who hasn't seemed to have committed to the codebase of irssi for years has decided to come in and put their foot down in such an aggressive way.

Funny, I feel like I JUST saw something like this happen somewhere else...

It's quite concerning that ailin-nemui, who made the prior commit migrating to Libera currently isn't listed as part of the irssi organization[1]. According to GitHub stats, this is the person behind most of the code in irssi[2].

Worth noting that it's quite common for people to not be publicly listed as part of Github organizations. The archive.org snapshot of the organization page from February [1] shows the same member count, so suspect that's the reason.

My bad, I didn't know that was a thing.

Quite clearly they had sanctioned commit access to irssi over such a long period of time, so I don't think there's anything untoward about that.

In all likelihood, they probably just had their commit access revoked, or are just hiding their membership as part of the organization.

We all saw it in many other places.
