Disgusting. The moment I think I've found the perfect MultiMC fork with
a thriving community and friendly upstream, the guy who set it up (and
actually doesn't contribute all that much) turns out to be one of
*those* people tarnishing our community, and ruins this work. I was
suspicious of him right off the bat with the "sneed.church" email (some
sort of 4chan cult, see [sneedacity] nightmare).

For now I will remove my package from Mentors but keep the RFS/ITP open
in hope that this issue is resolved in the near future.

There is currently some drama envoling with upstream, possibly this RFS/ITP 
should be put on hold
until it is resolved (or maybe switched to one the forks that are currently 
materializing [fork])

It seems that Lenny McLennigton, the main person behind upstream went rouge in 
a way that is difficult
to be aligned with Debian values (and CoC), as shown by their response on 
[twitter].
