To clarify the timeline a little bit here... Rosehub wasn't actually motivated by the MUNI hack, as it predated it by 8 months (Rosehub started in March 2016, MUNI hack was announced in November). As noted in the blog post, it was instigated by Justine seeing that open source packages weren't updating their dependencies to protect themselves, then doing some digging and realizing just how widespread the problem was.

However, the MUNI hack certainly did motivate being more public about the project and writing this blog post, since it really helped underscore the severity of this vulnerability in very real, concrete terms.
