You can't say that in a thread about the main maintainer forking it because he wants to maintain it against the wishes of the original maintainers.

The maintainer of Xlibre was not the "main maintainer" of Xorg. It is all smoke and mirrors, a fake-it-till-you-make-it strategy to be able to prematurely say "I am a X developer" without having put in the work. Their commits only go back to 2022 and they are all miniscule changes that haven't fixed any of Xorg's architectural warts.
