Hello, There was a post on a popular Russian-speaking IT site geektimes.ru authored from an account with an associated full name "Ilia Maslakov" titled (translated) "ms is over!?": http://geektimes.ru/post/250964/
Link to author's account is at the bottom of the article: http://geektimes.ru/users/smind/ , it has 6th position in user's ratings on site, so likely belongs to the person named. The summarized translation is: """ Lately, a leading developer wrote in developer's conference: "andrew_b: I closed bunch of tickets, but that's likely it. All comes to its end. It weren't worst 5 years in my life. mc is currently as briefcase without a handle: pity to drop, pity to carry. I'm tired of all that, I quit." So, mc development history led by our team comes to a milestone. Myself, I haven't done a commit to master in over a year. """ The post is written in a clear FUD manner, and implies too many far-fetched things, like: that departure of a maintainer means death of the project, that not this list titled mc-devel is where important discussion and announcements happen, but on "delevoper's conference" where people speak Russian, etc. The current maintainers, namely Andrew Borodin, Slava Zanko, Ilia Maslakov, Sergei Trofimovich - please provide full disclosure of what happens within your team. Whatever it is, please show goodwill by adding Egmont Koblinger to the maintainer team, if he agrees (including discussions and commit access), to show that the project wasn't usurped by Soviet Obkom.
