During the Stone Age of Unix, a windowing system was developed that could be run on Unix systems that would allow running programs with graphical interfaces similar to those of the Macintosh, AmigaOS and (eventually) Windows. The original system called "X Window System", or simply "X", and sometimes "X<version number>" with version 11 being the last one that was developed using that system (and thus "X11" became pretty much synonymous with the original "X Window System".)
Since that version 11 was developed in 1987, and further development of the system pretty much halted, alternative implementations started appearing, particularly for Linux and other more modern Unix-based systems (such as BSD).
One that gained a lot of popularity during the earlier years of Linux was called Xorg, which was an independent implementation of the X Window System API and protocol.
The main developer and "owner" of sorts (although that term is pretty fuzzy when it comes to open source software) was and still is the Red Hat company (most well known for their Linux distro with the same name). The main repository for Xorg was (and still is) hosted at the Red Hat servers.
Xorg was developed and refined for years but then, at some point, Red Hat just stopped developing it further and making new releases. And this was not for the lack of volunteer developers, who kept submitting improvements and merge requests to the repository. Quite soon these merge requests could be counted in the thousands. But Red Hat never integrated these patches and improvements into Xorg. They simply stopped maintaining and developing the software, while still maintaining "ownership" of it. As far as I know, they have never given a reason for this.
Other open source alternatives have been developed (most prominently Wayland), but Xorg development just stopped, even though it's still in wide use in many Linux distros and other Unix-like operating systems.
Frustrated with this complete lack of support and stoppage of development, the major contributor of these patches and merge requests (who submitted over half of the literally thousands of them) forked the project and created his own version, with all the patches applied, called Xlibre.
For some reason the maintainers of Xorg (well, "maintainers" is a strong word because, as mentioned, they have completely stopped maintaining the software many years ago) threw a complete and very strange hissy-fit about this.
A single rogue maintainer took some kind of very strange "revenge" by closing every single open merge request for Xorg that existed in the Red Hat servers. Just like that. Never merged, never integrated, all closed, and without giving any reason for closing them.
For some reason a bunch of far-leftist activists who are involved not just in Xorg and Red Hat, but also the most notorious far-leftist-infested software projects out there, most particularly Ubuntu and Gnome, started a massive boycott and defamation campaign against Xlibre. Anybody who would even mention that software, no matter how neutrally and innocently, is permanently banned from any forums where they do that. Moreover, the Ubuntu developers went ahead and completely dropped support for Xorg from their distro (apparently in order to stop Xlibre from being used in its stead.)
And why are they throwing this completely insane hissy-fit? Is that developer who forked the Xorg project and created the Xlibre repository some kind of notorious "right-wing" activist? Not really. Not that I have seen any evidence of it.
The only, and I really mean only, "evidence" that he doesn't care about far-leftist activism is that he refuses to add a "code of conduct" document to Xlibre. That's it.
I suppose the far-leftist activists have jumped to conclusions based on this and are thus throwing an absolutely insane temper tantrum, as if they were somehow attacked or something.
Of course we all know that far-leftists are completely insane. But they just keep proving it again and again.
