What would seem to be going on here, is that he was banned because github feels humiliated about what happened here (see how popular this is on Y combinator's hacker news?), and is reacting emotionally or trying to save face at the expense of the truth.

It's nearly impossible to argue that what homakov did was more harm than good for the developer community. This looks like a cut and dry political move by GitHub of villifying somebody who has demonstrated your weakness in a way to downplay your own responsibility.

I think what happened here is even preferable to it going through the reported channels, and silently being fixed, without attention being drawn to the larger issue here (i.e. rails security). Good for you, homakov, don't let anybody take out their defensiveness over their coding incompetence on you.
