Failing to see the damage your action has caused is your biggest problem right now. Even if we accept the rather far fetched possibilty of misrepresentation, there is no way that can outweight the effect on the maintainership status OpenWrt. Right now, 95 of the 145 (PKG_)MAINTAINER entries for OpenWrt packages points to an openwrt.org email address belonging to a LEDE committer: bjorn@canardo:/usr/local/src/openwrt$ git grep 'MAINTAINER:=.*<\(lynxis\|noltari\|dangole\|nbd\|hauke\|jow\|blogic\|neoraider\|rmilecki\|cyrus\|stintel\|thess\)@openwrt.org>' origin/master -- package/|wc -l 95 bjorn@canardo:/usr/local/src/openwrt$ git grep 'MAINTAINER' origin/master -- package/|wc -l 145 I don't know if all these were disabled, but the package I tried to submit to after the split was one of these. You don't seem to understand the devastating effect it has on OpenWrt if occasional contributors gets an email bounce from the published maintainer address. There is no way you can blame those maintainers for this situation. The problem is solely the responsibility of whoever decided to disable those addresses.
