@timbray @lcamtuf @rfc6919 @projectgus online manipulation and bullying tactics such as those sockpuppet complaints about maintainership are well-established in other areas of life, unrelated to software development. they are also well-known, which means lots of unaffiliated actors use them for lots of different goals.
@timbray @lcamtuf @rfc6919 @projectgus overall, yeah, this is an absurdly PATIENT attack. we think that more than anything else does suggest organization behind it.
