From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

All I see is two people failing their corporately mandated cyber security training at the same time.
If part of their job is working with the OSS community I don't see anything wrong (and I just finished my annual training a few weeks ago, so it's still fresh in my mind).
Edit: keeping an "official" repo secret does seem like an issue, but public posts about the correct process to contribute upstream doesn't seem like a problem.
