That incident and a few prior ones of his had me remove GrapheneOS from my phone. There's clearly a new lead contributor to the project from the git repo, but the leadership of the project is completely opaque and thus not something that I want to run on my phone.
I just fixed my habits so that I don't really do anything much with my phone. I mostly receive calls and text and do OTP. I use Aegis for that and back that up in the cloud. I wipe my phone basically monthly and I'm back up and running with all my apps/contacts/configs inside of 5 minutes.
