At least one former associate wrote about the dealings of a few maintainers of Rust, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28633113 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28633113. More reports likely don't emerge because of fear.
Potential witnesses are afraid of the friendly, high-status faces in the community who play nice in public, and then stab in private. Elites can hurt a whistleblower's career, long before the community accepts an uncomfortable truth.
However, there's more to this fear than just a few bad apples and internet drama. Rust's problems are much, much deeper.
- kaycey2022 3y agoI don't know any details other that it was about some trademark (maybe). Where can I read more about this?
- Macha 3y agoThe trademark drama is separate to the drama that caused this resignation. The primary issue that the author of the github issue is citing was due to a speaker being removed from a keynote speech at rustconf because of (depending on who you ask) internal communications breakdown/competing project politics/outright racism.
