How don't grasp why megi would close their github account plus prevent pull. Seems like not only a very unsympathetic move (to be very euphemistic) but quite against the spirit of open source. Did they write the entirety of the Linux kernel? If not, then whatever their contribution might be pales in comparison to what they're building upon. To treat their own work in such a egoistical manner seems out of touch.

He laid out his reasons in his blog post and explained how people can get the source code from now on[1]. He is an unpaid volunteer so it is reasonable that he does not want to pay for an expensive server. There is also an update to the situation. He is trying out Codeberg [2]. I am grateful for the work he is doing. My Pinephone is much more usable than it was in 2020
