No doubt in the link, but does it really mean anything? Both doc-hex and switck were committing to libngu prior to adoption in coldcard. The nym use is weird, but doc-hex was already linked to the libngu library without the two profiles being the same person. There were also cases in the commit history with other coinkite devs using two user profiles scgbckbone (as avirgovi). There are also cases when doc-hex shows as the committer even when scgbackbone is the author.
I think the nym is a red herring. The whole repo reeks of poor dev practices. No PRs in some cases and even when there were switck merging doc-hex meant there was no independent review. Bonkers.
Peter did like 75% of the commits to coldcard. Pointing out that this all technically falls on him is no surprise. Claiming that it was malicious requires some additional evidence
