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.

I think it is very brave of Josh to explain his part in the recent happenings, and I thank him for that.
It is clear that there is still a lot to organize before we can be confident this won’t happen again.
It seems to me the mistakes made by Josh do not justify the different steps he’s taken. After all, I see him more as ’the messenger’. I’d understand him wanting a cooldown period.

@jntrnr @thephd This leaves two open questions:

1. It was stated that interfering with keynote selection was not a singular event, but happened repeatedly. If this year the unfinished governance structure is to blame, what's to blame for the previous occurrences?

2. If the author was not the instigator, but only relaying the bad news coming from other individuals, who where these other individuals and what were their motivations?
