>A bunch of nerds with no social competence who make up their imaginary "committees" and give themselves "director" titles prepare for another public shaming and mobbing.
Have you seen the GNOME Foundation? At least the staff is mostly as far away from Nerd as you can be, it contains HR people, that is far, far worse than Nerds, when it comes to backstabbing and rumours.
(I don't know why GNOME has around a dozen (full-time?) employees, managing the project. What are they even doing? Just internal politics?)

I'm not sure, but code of conduct was breached, so could be the usual whenever code of conduct is brought up.

#9Does free software have academic title IX courts? Even while there may be legit complaints against someone, I'm very suspicious of FOSS governance being abused as a network of star chambers of people with a tremendous amount of influence on the security and privacy of user machines.
A metadata tag and registry of whether FOSS dependencies are governed by a non-profit and the organizations we have exposure to seems like an emerging need.

Same as GNU, seems like a moribund organization.
