Locking out a guy like David Rodriguez (the main person I see doing bundler commits) in a dramatic fashion just seems like absolute craziness. I can't fathom doing it without a very good reason, which has yet to be revealed if it exists.

Does “lest we lose critical funding because we don’t have proper agreements with our committers” not cut it as a reason for you? Genuinely curious, it seems like a reasonable explanation assuming it’s true.

Then you act in advance or with notice to get those agreements in place. Just dropping an atom bomb on the commit rights of the biggest contributor is very disrespectful.

If you can't work out an agreement after a good faith period... then that can become a good reason.
