This was simply a case of someone getting the systemdaemon name on github. It's not the systemd project.
The article is a fairly amusing April Fool's joke. Real quote from LP (on his blog from months ago) mixed in with quotes from a fictional developer. Googling the fictional developer's family name comes up with mysteriously few results...
And the fictional dev has "Gotya" in his name ;)
Funny how something that hits so close to the truth is more scary than funny.
