  The Internet Archive shows the progression of events pretty clearly. - In ~May 2023, the FT transferred it to Jake Champion: https://web.archive.org/web/20230505112634/https://polyfill.io/v3/ownership-transfer https://web.archive.org/web/20230505112634/https://polyfill.... - In mid-Oct, the site stated it was "Proudly sponsored by Fastly": https://web.archive.org/web/20231011015804/https://polyfill.io/ https://web.archive.org/web/20231011015804/https://polyfill.... - In November 2023, this was dropped: https://web.archive.org/web/20231101040617/https://polyfill.io/ https://web.archive.org/web/20231101040617/https://polyfill.... - In December 2023, JakeChampion made a sequence of edits removing his name from the repo and pointing to "Polyfill.io maintainers": https://github.com/polyfillpolyfill/polyfill-service/commit/5f4fc040e09436371f70ffcebe47ca0e3cdccac0 https://github.com/polyfillpolyfill/polyfill-service/commit/... https://github.com/polyfillpolyfill/polyfill-service/commit/aa261a834b36131e8dbd20d725c6b5d773f736d9 https://github.com/polyfillpolyfill/polyfill-service/commit/... - In mid-February 2024, the polyfillpolyfill account was created on Github, and took ownership over the repo. So I think sometime between October 2023 and February 2024, JakeChampion decided to sell the site to Funnull. I think the evidence is consistent with him having made a decision to sell the site to _somebody_ in December 2023, and the deal with Funnull closing sometime early February 2024.
