This bot account has been harassing Kodi team members for a long time. It recently scraped a team member's github activity feed, and tried to submit a vulnerability to another org's repo with commits by that team member.

wolvesofwallstreet/wolves.finance#1

[garbear]

We complained to GH and the account was removed, and now it appears to be recreated with a different name and sending vulnerabilities.

Some previous interactions:

@I-Cat I apologize for calling you a bot. Also for mistaking your intentions with the crypto-related repo. I can vouch for peak3d's code and say that it's unrelated to both kodi and crypto-mining.

Thanks for raising the concern. This concern is low-risk in open source (given review) but only if some's eyes catch it and they say something.

And please going forward, consider that Team Kodi is feeling harassed by you. We would like to work with you in a more healthy manner. There are outstanding requests from other team members about cancelling your new accounts. I'll ask for these to be rescinded if you're interested in improving your communication.

I think this issue here can be closed.

(tone=happy)

Tnx, for responding. Unfourtuntly sometimes reading a comment (text) is interpurted incorrectly because we
cannot hear a persons tone.
To accuse me of harassment is a serious accusion lawfully. (Do you think we should contact a lawyer?)
I don't see my self on how I was, disturbing, upsetting or threatening = (definition of harassment?).
I apologize if it looks like I harassed some one(s), Thats not my intention. I Don't approve with harassment as I know what it is like to have been harassed. As with harrasment I have actually been asking for help/questions this whole time. I recived no feed back/on how to fix/solve something. Also on ronnies pr I complied just fine. Because he asked me not to make a pr / (bother him?).
Wich is edvience that I have good intentions and dissaprove of harassment.
How would I even know if I harassed someone if no one mention it to me or gave me any help/feedback?(like ronnie did).

Okay , Who is the owner of xbmc/xbmc? + how do I contact the mods of the group & are you a mod?
Will You help me? I honestly, don't know what happend with my account becoming a gost.
As with peak3d's stuff unfourtunatly, I half to leave that in your hands. Since you are a team member that has been told about it. Yea I'd would like to try to solve this with the team.
If you want you can try to open a new issue with githubs mods and attach me to it since im newer and
don't know how to add a github mod.

Tnx again for the reply.

@I-Cat thanks for responding. I didn't say you were harassing, I said we were feeling harassed. I'm sorry we misinterpreted your intentions, but mistakes happen. Can you join the freenode channel #kodi-freenode? I'd like to talk without using other peoples' GitHub space.

@garbear garbear
Okay no problem

[I-Cat]

@garbear garbear

I cant join freenode im on windows and dont have a windows irc.

[garbear]

@I-Cat can you send me your email? My address is garrett@kodi.tv. We'll send you a slack invite to our public #kodi-dev-freenode channel

EDIT: We'll send an invite to your github email sometime soon.

[garbear]

@I-Cat I'm not able to access slack invites right now, but you can join with IRC on windows. My friend recommends the mIRC client, https://www.mirc.com. You can also do your own research and choose a client: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.slant.co/questions/1265

Once you log on to freenode, the channel is #kodi-dev-freenode.

I sent you an e mail I hope u get it

[garbear]

I didn't receive an email. It wouldn't do any good anyway, I don't have slack invite privileges - instead you need to log on to IRC. Yes, it's a scary old technology, but you can figure it out with the hints I gave.
