๐ Weโve updated how we manage GitHub access, shifting to team-based access.
๐ก๏ธThis improves security, sustainability, and aligns us with standard open-source practices.
๐ค Most importantly: no one has been removed from the community, and all contributions remain fully credited.
๐ฃ A Note on Recent GitHub Access Changes
Recently, some of our contributors received an automated GitHub message stating they had been โremoved as a collaborator.โ This wording felt abrupt and can be misleading for our previous collaborators and contributors, so we want to clarify:
