There's an official statement from #rustlang leadership on @thephd 's keynote:

No personal accountability, yet, though the post alludes that individuals may come forward? It does mention the individuals have stepped back from governance positions.

role.

i'm not sure what "leaving room" means...?

it seems to imply that those individuals might say nothing about this in public?

@jntrnr @thephd it seems like there's still a significant trust issue: what keeps them from re-entering leadership in the future without ever publicly identifying themselves & admitting any wrongdoing?

What keeps them from saying, at some future date, "oh, I wasn't involved in anything underhanded; i just needed to spend more time with my family."

@jntrnr @thephd and if those individuals were planning on saying something in public, **why couldn't those public statements be a part of this post**?
