I don't get the point why a maintainer of a popular package failed his interview. Having a popular package has nothing to do with coding ability and much more to do with writing the right thing at the right time.

He wasn't the "maintainer of a popular package". He was the creator/designer and main dev of Homebrew, the OSS <<package manager>> almost every dev on MacOS uses. He took an idea to completion, made it production ready and used by probably millions of users. I don't care about raw coding ability (Carmack style), if building such a large project doesn't prove at least development abilities, nothing does.
