Locking out a guy like David Rodriguez (the main person I see doing bundler commits) in a dramatic fashion just seems like absolute craziness. I can't fathom doing it without a very good reason, which has yet to be revealed if it exists.

He said this on the Bundler discord yesterday:

'My work in Bundler & RubyGems is completely halted, including the Bundler 4 project which I expected to complete in the next ~2 months. The immediate reason for this is simple: my commit access to the repository has been revoked, so I can no longer do the job anymore. The more fundamental reason is that I completely lost motivation after all the recent events, regardless of whether work is paid or not.

I'll be happy to resume my work in Bundler & RubyGems if maintainer ownership prior to September, the 9th is restored, and thus the previous maintainer's team is allowed to continue building a transparent and democratic governance model for the project.'
