As much as I dislike chrisaljoudi for doing shady things there as gorhill points out, this is as much of gorhil's hasty actions as it is chris' bad stewardship for the reputation of uBlock.
On April 1st, the transfer of ownership to chris are hours within the announcement of gorhil's leaving the project. I understand the frustrations he was getting, but that was not a smart decision on his part. Projects are easy to create, brand names are not.
