After reading the “issues” discussion from w weeks ago, this is just an idea at this point. The simplemobiletools fork was a mock up for something that sounds like its very much in the planning/ideas stage. you can also go to fossify.org to see another mock up that does nothing right now. You could message one of them, but I think maybe its some MIT software team / group & their just tossing ideas around for a foss hub of sorts.
I swear I’ve seen this before, like pre-YouTube or circa 2001. i even remember the woman only lasting a few minutes on the forum that was scrutinizing it because she didn’t seem to be aware of trolls. if this is a recent interview then maybe it was done as some sort of homage. only way i would have come across it back then was if someone threw up a link in general chat on pirat4x4.
