He has deleted the github repo, and now I know why.

Really? Let me politely call you out on this claim.
1. Your earlier July post referring to the twitter logo as an "egg"
(for the clueless, the egg is an ancient fertility symbol) does not
seem like humor.
2. The class "class AmbiguousMissionError(Exception):" and method (def
get_purpose():    "raise AmbiguousMissionError, "Mission unclear") are
not humor either.
Both smack of sexism because you never bothered to ask Anu, nor
participated in the emails on the pyladies-blr list, where we were
discussing about holding meetups (both hangouts and in-person meets)
and I didnt see any response from you regarding holding a talk or
workshop or sprint.

IIRC, Anu had earlier emailed this list asking for data (re, female
participation in the monthly meetups) and iirc, you told her to
conduct a poll. Is being dismissive yet another attempt at humor?

...and I am beginning to wonder why? If anything Anu is getting a lot
of support from upstream, the PSF approved her grant request, etc..
and you being a PSF member should know better than ascribe it to your
sense of humor because there is nothing funny about the above.

_"if"_? This is the classic "non-apology" apology:

"if apology").
