Under what conditions to lose maintainer status is described here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/maintainers/README.md?plain=1#L45 ff. The author did not provide any evidence for the maintainer being unresponsive, and also did not wait for one week, so this PR is invalid as per our community guidelines. Furthermore, the claims (which aren't relevant for revoking maintainer status) seem to be wrong. I could not find evidence anywhere for the maintainer asking to remove "all their personal information" from the repository. Furthermore, legal action cannot be confirmed since the author did not provide any court or file number to verify. Taking also into account that the author was involved in several attempts to boycott contributions from the maintainer for no obvious reason, this seems to be a case where the author abused his commit privilege for bullying a developer he has personal issues with. Should this not be the case, the author can revert this commit, refrain from his attempt to push it to further branches, and publish a loud and unambiguous apology on Discourse and GitHub. |

I did not revoke your maintenance status but you asked us to remove personal identifiable while threatening with legal consequences. Since this is a serious allegations it's better to be act fast and be better on the safe side. Feel free to open a pull request to restore this status if you have changed your mind. Currently it's too much of a legal minefield to me to readd your name without your explicit consent, so it's better if you do it yourself. |

@zeuner following the contributions guidelines by the letter and not by the spirit is rules lawyering to me. Because obviously nobody will have written down something about how to handle the current situation. Mic made a call of judgement, and we can discuss it calmly without being threatened by knee-jerk counter reactions. |
