If my comment implied that there was some sort of expectation then I think there was a miscommunication. There's no obligation for anyone to do anything, ever, but that's a pretty useless metric to mark against IMO. Was this a professional project? Absolutely not. But was this a personal project? I would also say categorically "no", since it wasn't scoped under his personal github profile until recently. I'm very saddened to see something that could have been solely community maintained be revoked instead of there existing a potential mitigation plan in place (for example in the form of a foundation or Org) for situations like this, especially since this has happened twice before and it's sadly caused burnout for the main developer. Again, no obligation to do this but why can't I say "man, that's true that he could follow these actions but that's also shitty" at the same time?
