> The only way to permanently resolve these issues is to oust the people that are responsible for them, or defending those that are, from the Rust project entirely. I mean, once again we have the "there are people who are bad" and no names. What do you expect to happen? I don't get it. If you have a problem with some people, please name them and explain the issue. This whole "we're resigning in protest, no, don't ask us why" thing has been going on for years and it's obviously not a good strategy.

I agree, who are these people? What did they do? The author asks for them to be ousted but ironically offers no names or actions with which to confront them. I get that it's likely to prevent harassment, but understanding at least what was done is crucial to fixing said mistakes.

  > I get that it's likely to prevent harassment I guess? But it's not working lol you can't have "I want to exert pressure on these people" and also "I will not tell you who these people are". These two things are fundamentally at odds with one another.

I think he has given up on change so he's just moving on. I'd bet he has named the names elsewhere and repeatedly for some time before it came to this.

  Well, I don't know what the point of this is then. The Github issue is obviously a resignation in protest and a call to action - they explicitly state that people need to be removed. And yet this call to action is impossible to pursue. I am sure that some people know who's at fault. But this Github issue wasn't a private message to those people, it was a public one. This is a public call to action where the public has no information.
