I kinda doubt Dennis Ens is either. He initially opened the thread, likely to plant the idea that xz needs a new maintainer. He then came back to guilt trip "I am sorry about your mental health issues, but...the community desires more"
EDIT: I initially misread "desires" as "deserves". I think my point still stands though
@eb Another interesting thing: https://www.mail-archive.com/xz-devel@tukaani.org/msg00570.html conflicts with the fact that, according to https://github.com/xz-mirror/xz/commits?author=JiaT75&after=74c3449d8b816a724b12ebce7417e00fb597309a+244, JiaT75 hadn't commited anything, he'd only authored stuff (I hope I'm reading that page correctly)
The linked message is definitely an attempt by Jia to request commit access
