Aragorn writes that Philip Müller (the project lead) has been running Manjaro as his own personal venture rather than a community effort, keeping a tight hold on access to both the codebase and the infrastructure.

These weasels never care about the actual thing that is being built, its just a way to make money for them.

Hope they kick that Philip guy out and get back to making this a passion project.
