   @maiyannah @armistace I think StatusNet was developed by one guy, who then started on the new shiny (pump.io) but for whatever reason then retired from development leaving pump in a half baked condition. Statusnet became !gnusocial, but who is now maintaining it and whether they are asleep at the wheel I don't know. If the maintainer is unresponsive to newly found security bugs then forking makes sense.

     But not because you'd somehow be forced to actively submit all thr changes to upstream otherwise.

     @maiyannah Btw to get the history straight: 1. Evan makes Laconica. 2. Evan gets funding, it turns into StatusNet, cool people contribute lots of code. 3. Matt thinks it's a cool project and does a PR thing with GNU so people get excited. No real development though, just some playing around by some excited people. 4. Evan no longer has funding and StatusNet dies. 5. I …
