 From the old (infradead) libusbx mailing list:

I also sent him the following:

Thus, he's been offered the opportunity to express himself on the 
decision to fork as well participate in a democratic process to steer 
libusbx, which he declined (and I'll just remind people who think that 
somehow I'm the only one who gets to decide where libusbx is going that 
I too have been overruled by this process).

Now, I don't really have much of a problem with people changing their 
mind, or developers coming and going (happens with all projects), but, 
from the above, I don't think Nathan has much ground to voice complaints 
about libusbx.

Well, hopefully someone who wants to scratch an itch on OS-X will pick 
it up. And we could probably use a Linux developer too (<cough>USB 3.0 
descriptors</cough>) as well as a *BSD one (<cough>topology call</cough>)...
