> The security team is composed of unpaid volunteers who work on numerous time-sensitive projects simultaneously. You may not be aware, but since a group of maintainers and contributors left earlier this year to form their own fork called "Lix," there have been many vacant positions across several Nix teams.

This is not true, there have been many vacant positions across several Nix teams because the original project has been unable to keep these people. When challenged about this inevitable situation of depleted labor, the answer of people involved in leadership was, "It's OK, we will have new people joining us anyway.".

Lix has been trying to connect with the Nix maintenance team, with very timid results from the Nix side. We continue to hope this will lead to a better cooperation.

Also, you say that they are "unpaid volunteers", the Nix maintenance team is composed of folks who have full-time responsibilities in VC companies who sells Nix-based products.

Might it have something to do with the culture of bullying and intimidation that you were responsible for on the Discourse?

I've clicked through a bunch of your references and am yet to see any of the "bullying" you keep talking about across the thread... Please be more concrete and on-point or this is just ad-hominems, insinuations and drama...
