"Why the fuck is someone called MADELINEVIBES, who did an "introduction to github" LAST YEAR, managing security releases for mission critical software?"
I absolutely agree
Blockstream have not done anything wrong here, I believe they are following as good a process as any with getting the network back up and keeping user funds safe.
Your ignorance that the release manager of Core Lightning is Madelinevibes is not a complement. You may notice that they have published the release notes since 25.09 https://blog.blockstream.com/author/madeline/
If the person writing the release note docs for the last 5 versions says something, I think I would be taking their advice seriously rather than saying "who is this".

And a month later you're posting about possibly having lost money:
#1585578
I'm genuinely sorry for your loss. And I realize i was emotional during my original post, insensitive maybe, but the mishandling of the situation is undeniable.
This is extremely disappointing from Blockstream.
Core lightning has been some of my favorite bitcoin software for many years, i have championed it in both Dev and adoption realms.
And now... to see a small group of insiders be alerted of critical issues, with zero proper public disclosure or announcement? This is not how you do security fixes or look after users.
What if this semi-quiet embargo announcement had piqued the interest of evil individuals (it certainly has now, AIs are being pointed at the repo right fucking now)?
What if I had lost funds or private information regarding customer data?
