Just to be very clear: they aren't asking for permission, they are framing it that way because of the bad press.

There's no gatekeeping here!

Right? Math is the most open of our academic knowledge institutions, by virtue of what it is. It's easy to get any math publication, and I am not aware of any other fields where an anonymous person can publish their work informally in an anime discussion and enter the annals of math knowledge.
