If you're interested in the project you can still access the source code.
Hell, the author asked for volunteers to pick up where he left off.
Yet, you're only complaining that he is no longer working for you and complying with your personal whims.
That's the problem. A guy volunteers himself and donates his expertise and work to give you a gift, and in return some moochers just want to mooch off of him and, worse, attack him for not complying with their whims.
Literally no one is complaining here that they no longer want to work on the project. It's all about the deleted code, and the damage he did to the community by yanking the project from its primary hub (which also kills all gitter conversations, links, build pipelines e.t.c.)

well, I already apologized elsewhere as I had misunderstood his personal repo to mean a private repo, but anyway I don't code in Rust, so no, I'm obviously not complaining that he is no longer working for me.
This obviously means also that he has not given me a gift.
Finally I am not sure what reasoning has led you to assume that if he gave me a gift moochers would want to mooch off of him, and how they would do so by virtue of him giving me a gift. Whatever reasoning it was, I'm forced to think there must have been little of it.
