So essentially they randomly cut off a bunch of long time maintainers for some vague legal and/or security reasons. If there was real reason to do that in a hurry, that's what we need to see, not a corporate PR message.

It’s not clear to me - did they entirely cut them off, or did they reduce their role as admin of the GitHub org?

If so, I'm not defending it, and I could understand why someone would feel insulted by that - but also get why an org doesn't want too many with elevated privileges.

According to the author's PR where she removed herself as a maintainer, she lost commit access.
