I can’t tell you how angry this makes me feel for this maintainer.

I don’t know who Jigar Kumar is, or what the motivation was behind the emails that the author is referencing, but I can tell you if I was trying to get a bad actor in as a trusted developer, this is how I would approach it.

Good post.

@jerry I assume it's the same person (but certainly in the employ of the same organization, if not the same person). They were nice and helpful as Jia, and abusive and toxic under another name. Classic manipulation tactic used by cops and interrogators. Break someone down and then someone else comes in to relieve the pain.
