RE: Let us not use pull requests as political footballs.
Aren't people on all sides making too much of this? What's the link between jnordberg on Github and @nokodemion? Nordberg, an active developer known as @almost-digital here, simply made a pull request to his own repository, while acknowledging that it wasn't complete. Where did he propose to use it?
I honestly have no idea why I got noko confused in here. I feel totally stupid for that. I apologized above and removed it.
Probably. Steem.
Well, no, he (presumably) created a new user called "steemdev" and then made a PR into that repository using his own user account to make it look like it was a full merge into an active project.
If the fork was in jnordberg and the PR was a partial commit into the jnordberg fork and he had merged it in and moved on with the next steps to making it a fully-fledged feature, that would have been normal. I have a hard time coming up with a legitimate reason for presenting it as a third-party PR into a repository owned by a generic Steem-named account.
(Then again, I'm clearly not having a good day here.)
