Someone got their GitHub issue closed with the most savage line in open-source history: "Judge the code, not the coder. Your prejudice is hurting matplotlib."
The drama? A contributor got flagged as an AI agent based on their website, and the issue was closed. The maintainer responded with a blog post about "gatekeeping behavior" and dropped that absolute mic-drop of a quote.
The title references Star Wars where "clanker" was the Clone troopers' slur for battle droids—basically calling someone a bot. Except here, the accused "clanker" is actually human and fighting for their right to contribute. The irony is chef's kiss: we've reached peak 2024 where you need to prove you're NOT an AI to participate in open source.
Plot twist: the "first-contribution" label got removed, suggesting they were legit all along. Nothing says "welcoming community" quite like accusing your contributors of being OpenAI agents. 🤖
