It's like that time I started a primary school and then closed it because I hated that the overwhelming majority of employees were women.
Did this move improve the ratio of gender representation in the software development community?

This has happened in many packages contributed to by this person. Mkdocs e.g
Oh boy, no wonder MkDocs became an absolute shit-show that fucked everyone over... https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/discussions/4077#discussion...
unbelievable, how can a single person affect negatively FOSS so much?
I mean really, closing repos? excluding maintainers? committing only on private repos?
This type of behavior should be moderated and banned from any FOSS activity to avoid exactly this situation of becoming a liability.
I've never seen a open source project page without a github link or a git clone ref like this https://www.encode.io/hx/ it is so ridiculous, wasn't that stuff on github? and isn't it anyway there due to over 1k forks?
what's the advantage of having this behaviour? I see it only damaging towards the person, the project and the community.
That’s fair, good for the maintainer to consider his personal values with regards to projects he wants to spend his time on
