At this point I'm very concerned about the open source industry relying so much on github. You have to remember that any project there can be swept away overnight because it doesn't fit into the agenca of a large company, for example.

Wait! So the author bows his head, says hey great guys u win. Watch i complied.

Leans over to the stranger sitting next to him and says, hold my beer.

In the same heartbeat, creates another git acnt, exact same commit history. And carries on. Some other author, totally not the same guy but oddly the same pgp public key announces they've taken over and here are the new urls.

i call that mission accomplished

this comment thread is like fight Money Mcbags and go bankrupt for our entertainment and for the LOLs and feelz good?

Or we can just post the new urls and pretend it's a new maintainer, with the handle lawyerdisappointed
