EDIT: Just did a bit of poking. xz-embedded was touched by Jia as well and it appears to be used in the linux kernel. I did quick look and it doesn't appear Jia touched anything of interest in there. I also checked the previous mirror at the tukaani project website, and nothing was out of place other than lagging a few commits behind:

OpenSUSE is still listing Jia's public key: https://sources.suse.com/SUSE:SLE-15-SP6:GA/xz/576e550c49a3667a44b6375fb28916e5/xz.keyring https://sources.suse.com/SUSE:SLE-15-SP6:GA/xz/576e550c49a36...

EDIT: Spoke with some folks in the package channel on libera, seems to be a non-issue. It is not used as attestation nor an ACL.

Arch appears to still list Jia as an approved publisher, if I'm understanding this page correctly.

EDIT: Just sent an email to the last committer to bring it to their attention.
EDIT: It's been removed.

/whowas expired not too long ago, unfortunately. If anyone has it I'd love to know.
They are not registered on freenode.
EDIT: Libera has stated they have not received any requests for information from any agencies as of yet (30th Saturday March 2024 00:39:31 UTC).
EDIT: Jia Tan was using a VPN to connect; that's all I'll be sharing here.
- mook 3y agoFWIW, that's mingw-w64-xz (cross-compiled xz utils) in AUR, not ming-w64 (which would normally refer to the compiler toolchain itself).
- junon 3y agoGood catch, thanks :)
- junon 3y agoJust for posterity since I can no longer edit: Libera staff has been firm and unrelenting in their position not to disclose anything whatsoever about the account. I obtained the last point on my own. Libera has made it clear they will not budge on this topic, which I applaud and respect. They were not involved whatsoever in ascertaining a VPN was used, and since that fact makes anything else about the connection information moot, there's nothing else to say about it.

- freeone3000 3y agoRespect not giving out identifying information on individuals whenever someone asks, no matter what company they work for and what job they do? Yes. I respect this.
- junon 3y agoI am not LE nor a government official. I did not present a warrant of any kind. I asked in a channel about it. Libera refused to provide information. Libera respecting the privacy of users is of course something I applaud and respect. Why wouldn't I?
