The sourceforge "vandalism" was widely reported enough that while it was "reverted" prior to me seeing it live, it seems to have happened... but everything else I've seen since (which could very well not be everything... I haven't been following super closely) requires me to believe in either easily faked screenshots (the article this discussion links to mentions possible photoshopping, but it is even easier than that to just use developer tools to modify the number of total emails a site is displaying prior to screen-capturing) or 3rd party reports with no details (eg. the Peter Todd tweet where he says he got a forwarded 2011 email but doesn't really go into specifics). So my belief is there was some kind of incident here, but it is impossible to determine exactly what the scope of it was compared to the high likelihood of a lot of follow-up trolling.
