This whole situation is toxic. She literally made a 1-line change in a configuration file with basically no downsides.

She also repeatedly re-opened and then merged the PR despite the other guy telling her to follow the format and wait for a review. Which she shouldn't have done. But then everyone started bashing her and .NET for other (similarly small) things and extrapolating that. Then there's this 1000 legalese word apology, and then people are bashing her for the apology.



Please read this discussion[1]. The issue goes far beyond a pull request.

Project maintainers had their projects moved from their public GitHub accounts to the DNF's GitHub Enterprise account without notice. Some maintainers only found out about the transfers of their projects because of this[1] discussion.

In practice, how does such a change actually affect the project owners? Because from all the kerfuffle, I haven't seen a single legitimate grievance or issue this actually caused the owners. In fact, one of them even says (paraphrased) "If you had just waited for review, there probably wouldn't have been any issue."

This _does_ feel very toxic and unnecessary.


In practice, I 100% believe that everyone would have agreed, because it makes sense to have all projects under foundation in one org.

But how can you move repositories, without giving a notice? Baffling honestly.

It was a change to a .csproj file, changing the project dependencies. Not a configuration file.

Yes, but did she get her t-shirt?
