Just in case you don't know.

Development teams of all known Matrix server implementations were already invited to a room to speak about it by the Matrix team in charge of it.

Will Dendrite be patched?

I expect it so. But also involve room admins because part of the solution is that room creators will have now infinite privilege over other admins.

It makes me feel like their idea of decentralized rooms did not work really well for privileges and that is where vulnerability goes.

Also, Space are rooms too and since 2021 there is an issue open related to upgrading Spaces and now may be a big concern since it is not supported completely.
