I thought it important as this is a direct bit of official information from the libreboot.org website itself, and libreboot is often mentioned in many other threads on HN with regards to privacy, laptops, and Free alternatives. I imagine it would be of interest to many here. Please forgive me if the submission is flagged, I can understand the distaste for drama. Let's keep the discussion civil.
- aban 10y agoIt's also worth mentioning that one of the main contributors of Libreboot responded[0] on that mailing list thread, and on his website[1] that "[..] Leah Rowe is the only person who has git commit access to the website, libreboot.org, and also the only person who has git commit access to the codebase, [..]".

- nitrogen 10y agoI do feel there is an important discussion to be had, and the first half of the post seems quite reasonable. Punishing the victims of harassment can never be acceptable. I don't understand the second half, though; it seems that the demands for mass removal of FSF leadership are not proportional and would not have the desired effect of preventing harassment. Do these types of demands commonly work, and I am just unaware of the examples?
