My apologies, I read your post and understood the bot access part. However the timing of it sure as looked smelly to me, that's why I wrote "supposed".

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."

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.

Understood, and cheers.
