Commit 77a294d
Update maintainer and author info. The other maintainer suddenly disappeared.
Lmao, that's putting it lightly.
-
the other maintainer now has a special place:
Special author: Jia Tan was a co-maintainer in 2022-2024. He and the team behind him inserted a backdoor (CVE-2024-3094) into XZ Utils 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 releases. He suddenly disappeared when this was discovered.

RIP Jia Tan

I don't think they would be in much peace. It was years of their work that was ruined by a person with OCD and valgrind.

Can we stop calling a good software dev autistic or stuff?

Hmm yes.
The floor is made out of floor

I like how the first point made is that the backdoor violates the Debian Free Software Guidelines, as if that's the main problem
