OpenMandriva Linux says contributor tried to sabotage the project

The OpenMandriva Linux project faced an internal sabotage attempt allegedly carried out by Davide Beatrici, a developer associated with the Mumble project, following a dispute over project direction and contributor behavior. Beatrici deleted repositories and pushed an empty package to the Cooker repository, targeting the Gnome and Cosmic desktop environments. Although he denied malicious intent, claiming his actions were in response to disagreements over project governance, the OpenMandriva team is restoring affected systems and conducting a security audit. Legal action has been waived by the project despite the severity of the incident.
