I agree with busterarm's take. Andre Arko's story omits specific concerns like ssh'ing into Rubygems in Japan 9 days after the debacle. Further, his narrative excludes his termination email and instead focuses on generic platitudes his boss sent the group, to somehow prove Andre didn't know he was fired.
All in all, I don't see sound judgement from Andre Arko or from RubyCentral. That seems the common takeaway from neutral third parties https://archive.md/SEzoV
> Regarding Arko’s blog post about his removal, McQuaid [Homebrew Maintainer] told me it’s good that Arko is crediting other people for their contribution and that he’s following open source principles of community and transparency, but that “his ‘transparency’ here has been selective to things that benefit him/his narrative, he seems unwilling or unable to admit that he failed as a leader in being unwilling or unable to introduce a formal governance process long before this all went down or appoint a meaningful successor and step down amicably.”
