FOSS projects are often developed by international groups of people dispersed in a few countries, organised with a structure but with no formal body to keep them accountable to the law of any of the country, and even if there is a Code of Conduct in the project and someone willing to investigate and enforce it, the person is doing it in their free time. Often those who are meant to provide protection by ensuring a CoC are implicitly dependent or are part of the power structure (there is nothing like a division of powers as in modern democracies), so they actually face a conflict of interests (the reputation of the project and loyalty to those in power being on one of the sides and a fair resolution on the other, which sometimes is the opposite one) and individuals who seek protection or just a fair treatment are left by themselves.

But as I did, they moved the reposotory (with all references, the history, GH stars and followers) because they could.
