Hi there @mariha thank you for posting.
I was aware of this conflict via the OHN chatroom, and these types of things are unfortunately horror stories that happen all too often. Part of Social Coding Movement would be finding all kinds of best-practices for the Social Coding FSDL pattern library that can help avoid these situations from happening.
In the case of this conflict lack of Transparency was certainly one of the contributing factors, together with a range of other aspects I guess. Lack of Transparency might easily lead to an erosion of Trust, which is also extremely important in FOSS projects.
Btw, I do not know if you’ve seen it, but I created a separate topic explaining the reason that imho talk about strategies are needed: FOSS sustainability: Highlighting the need to discuss Strategy. Especially beyond the scope of single FOSS projects to the level of ecosystems and technology adoption there is imho a big weakness in FOSS in the face of hypercapitalism.
