In my opinion there is still a pretty big gap of understanding between what some of the long time maintainers posted about last week and what Ruby Central has been communicating.
In particular - the maintainers seemed to be caught completely by surprise by all of this where as Ruby Central is claiming this was just a new SOP for offboarding a former employee. They're sort of talking past the actual issue, everyone agrees that security of the Ruby ecosystem is important, but they're not addressing how they handled the individual long time contributors.
