There's another, slightly confusing aspect which u/vb explained absolutely brilliantly here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28781621 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28781621), namely that she wore two hats: one as the ED of the Foundation, the other as a long-dormant maintainer of that particular project. She apparently intended to merge that PR qua the latter, but didn't make that sufficiently clear, and also made some offhand remarks about Foundation rules which (accidentally?) implied she was acting qua the former. Oh what tangled webs we weave...
