It's the first link in the apology page (which in turn is linked to from the tweet). BTW, Nathaniel J Smith, author of the blog post I've linked to here, is the creator of Trio and all-round awesome open source guy. His other blog posts are well worth reading.

I don’t know exactly what the root causes are (there are a mix of many it could be) but a lot of the maintainers of what seems like _a lot_ of the core python tools seem to be run by utter assholes, completely unable to interact with any part of the community - but especially beginners - without being outright rude and abrasively hostile. This isn’t limited to python, of course, but (for instance) rust has this reputation as a language but I’ve rarely seen it with popular package maintainers.
