I didn't even know about it, and I've kinda vaguely kept an eye on Libreboot since it launched (I even used to subscribe to the LinuxBIOS dev list when it launched like two decades ago, so it's an ongoing, if only mild, interest). I certainly don't consider the project perpetually tainted. People fuck up. People deal with mental illness. People sometimes have poor interpersonal skills (this is not uncommon in technical communities...several BDFLs are widely regarded to be assholes to varying degree). All I usually want from someone is an admission of what went wrong, and a sincere effort to never repeat it and to apologize to the folks directly harmed. I don't know enough about this to say who owes who an apology or who ought to be making amends. But, really, people have been assholes on the internet since...probably the first day the internet existed. If we let that stop us from working on cool stuff, OSS and the open internet would not be what it is today (hmmm...I guess the internet being what it is today isn't exactly a bragging point or proof of my argument).
