I'm just wondering, because I have seen some negative comments on here about him, but they don't usually provide specifics.

its lead dev is a bit socially awkward

Heh. You're being gentle, and that's good. But that's maybe understating it a bit.

I've seen the GrapheneOS official Mastodon account being an antisocial uncollegial mess.

It's okay to acknowledge that we wish some of our open source contributors were better community members.

Out of interest (because I know nothing whatsoever about GrapheneOS), how does its lead compare to Linus Torvald?

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 7 points 11 hours ago

I don't follow either closely enough to make a rank list or anything.

In the same ballpark as some moments that Torvalds has apologized for. Milder than Torvald's worst, but also unrepentant, as far as I've seen.
