Maybe just don’t be part of a GitHub organization that can take over your shit if you don’t want them to. We really need a GitHub feature where maintainers can enter an organization but still retain ultimate control over their repository and take it back out if they start being annoying.

Maintainers could also use that to distrupt things in the same way, to be fair.

A two-key-rule system would be neat. A repo can be in an org, but some big changes (removing/adding a maintainer, moving a repo, renaming an org, etc) need to have x of total maintainer accounts click an approve button within a few days of each other. Making big changes slow and tedious feels ideal when we're talking about the countless lifehours sunk into a project by maintainers, that's funded and supported by a company. Both of those parties benefit from cooling off periods and being a bit obstinant to eachother... without being able to slit eachothers throats.
