How is it not actionable? "Hey, you seem keen on feature X but I don't care about that. Just maintain X in your own fork. Thanks!" -> Close issue / PR.
Is this an illegal move? I've done it plenty of times. And other people have said the same to me, too!
The point is that just telling every maintainer "The security of all our computers rely on you. You are free to tell people to maintain their own fork. Good luck!" isn't something that will meaningfully change anything. I never said saying what you write is illegal or bad. Just that we can't depend on every maintainer doing that to be how we secure our computers...
