(author here) I'm checking with my team to confirm these came from us, but if so I apologize for this - posts like these should come from a real account with proper disclosure, but also these sorts of requests feel premature for a project like ours that doesn't yet have a sizeable user base.

The user was called adl-collab, when it forked repos to add implementations it made them under a branch called "andrew".

The biggest contributor to the project in the last 3mo is andrewlaack... and we can also just take a guess that "adl" in adl-collab is AnDrewLaak.

You are also characterizing another project that was open-sourced (sandstorm) and is under active development as "long abandoned". Open source is difficult and requires a fair amount of cheerleading to engage users and make them part of the community. As a result it's hard to see your project in a positive light.

This line makes me think you are running a spam campaign and andrew just isn't part of it

Why you apologise for something which is perfectly legal. Give an inch, they'll take a mile. F the authoritarians and monopolists.
