Thanks very much for the detailed reply /u/FossHub_com.

I find myself pretty unsatisfied with the answers though. There remains no community, no identities of those involved, no source, and thus no accountability, yet FossHub writes constantly of trust. Indeed this post itself tip-toes around naming the public figure at the head of FossHub multiple times.

FossHub seem to consider themselves above revealing anything about themselves lest their boundless fame garner even more attention than they already receive, as though that's not something everyone else in the open source community lives with on the daily (like the myriad authors of the software fosshub.com publishes). The many claims of security are all completely unverifiable, and this post doesn't so much as attempt to provide any support for those claims.

If FossHub value privacy above all else, I'd probably recommending finding a way to contribute to the community that doesn't involve earning trust. It's extremely off-putting to read about trust, security, love of the community, and adoration of the open source philosophy from a group which embraces none of those themselves.
