@janl ok so yes this looks really really bad but:
""we were offered millions of dollars from a hostile donor in exchange for control of the RubyGems infrastructure” <-- that's a HELL of an accusation to make, and I can't see any evidence of that whatsoever. Is there something I'm missing?
Because otherwise until we learn more this really seems like a "never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence" sort of situation - right?
