It got popular because LaurentMT turned it into a hoax by claiming some anonymous dev introduced the bug and then scrubbed their account: https://x.com/Kruwed/status/2088301854522257453

But he immediately fucked up when fabricating the "evidence" of the disappearing dev from Feb 2024: The coordinator string feature wasn't even added until June 2024 - https://github.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/pull/13190

He's referring to da5c4507.

Doesn't mean it's malicious per se though: noreply@email.com is a dummy author email and the committer is anyway the last person to touch it. As it doesn't have a signature, there is no valid evidence in any way that anyone mentioned here did this in the first place, so whatevs. Bugs happen. Glad it is fixed.
