This is actually pretty plausible if you consider how big a step forward Nix is in terms of reproducible and auditable open-source packaging. Of course anyone who wants to maintain the supply-chain attack avenue would try to gum up the works.
A free open source project is perfectly capable of attracting wreckers with no other motivation than that kind of person has a lot of free time.
(Example being the wave of "you need a code of conduct" discourse was started by someone who needed to look feminist because they were fired by GitHub for harassing women.)
I can't begin to state how much of a tinfoil hat theory this is. The issues with the leadership were persistent since years. Just read the recent thread about it here people.
I want to say that, just like that nixpkgs maintainer with 18.000 commits, as a non-US citizen I'd also not contribute to NixOS/nixpkgs. I in no way would support the MIC of a genocidal state.
I looked into the "issues with the leadership", and everything I found was all a bunch of crap. The head of NixOS made a mistake stepping down, he should have told the SJW losers to get fucked.
