No problem. I'm really just trying to keep the story straight.
The only issue I have with the timing is that I told them I was not comfortable with them as admin on the repo yet as soon as they were made admin (to fix the CLA bot, which happened to be only a week or so after my email) this happened. No social engineering necessary but really poor timing on top of non-existent communication.
And here we are, sadly.
I probably shouldn't have speculated it was all a set up, but even if it wasn't all kicked off with that intent, how it was then used sure was not ok. It reeked of trickery and deceit, which I construed as social engineering from that point of view - hope that makes sense (edit: #1).
Kudos on handling this, and hope you're doing well all considered. It was fantastic to read how you claimed the ownership back.
#1) that they requested "Yesterday we announced Foundation-wide Code of Conduct Enforcement. Part of making that work requires that the dnfadmin GitHub user has owner permissions to GitHub organizations."
