There’s an HN thread about this and yes it sounds like the guy is being stupid and/or there was a communications error. He submitted a PR for a potentially breaking change and it was closed as “needs discussion”. That is, instead of clicking “open PR”, he was advised to instead click “open discussion” and talk about the proposed change and its potential downstream effects. He instead got pissy and started spamming forums.
