To add, did Ruby Central consider going to the community and asking for funding so they wouldn’t have to be beholden to one or a small group of key funders? If they were at risk of shutting down without this funding source I think the community might have rallied around them so they could make more independent decisions in the best interests of the community.

This is not to say that they didn’t act in the best interests of the community by tightening security, but an organization of this nature should be able to act more independently.

This program is public and has been for a very long time - it’s called the Community Support Program because Windows devs don’t have enough nightmares of the acronym CSP.

Do you contribute? I can send you a link if you don’t.

Why would someone contribute to Ruby central now, when the org has been shown to be callous and incompetent stewards who are utterly incapable of showing even minimal respect to their community?
