TL:DR: A contributor with write access got angry that a friend got kicked from a matrix channel, and this triggers a chain of events, ending in him trying to break the unstable(cooker) version of distribution. No other damage and they are working to restore stuff now.

Yikes. What an asshole. They really should try to press charges; that's not okay.
I recently learned that OpenMandriva's president (warning, lunduke link as evidence) has declared the project "non-woke" and "anti-DEI", which has resulted in it attracting a hard right community.
I hope the Mumble team realise how much risk he poses to their project too. What a way to burn any legacy you might have had, and while he hasn't made a proper statement, for the bits he has said, he doesn't seem apologetic at all.
I noticed they declined to press charges, but I wish they'd change their minds on that. They really should press charges on the jerk.
Avoid obscure Linux distros
Mandriva/Mandrake might be older than you...
Seems like mumble is a sketchy project, too.
What? Why?
You think I'm overreacting?
Davide Beatrici, known for his work on the instant messaging app Mumble, joined our distribution some time ago. […] In protest, two people left the distribution, including Davide, a friend of the attacker. […] This infuriated Davide so much that, abusing of the administrative privileges he still had, he sabotaged the distribution today in the early morning hours.
Not a good look IMO.
