TL;DR jonathon (treasurer) was removed from the OpenCollective after they had a big argument with philm (project lead) over whether or not to authorize the purchase of a $2,000 laptop. After that jonathon posted his grievances on the Manjaro forum, to which philm responded by delisting the thread and removing jonathan as moderator of the forum.
Bummer, I guess that’s the end of using Manjaro for me.
It’s still not clear from the thread what happened, but even just the way the thread was handled really looks unacceptable based on what I read.

I don’t entirely disagree, in the sense that I’m open to the possibility that they could come out with a statement that clears things up. But my approach is to disengage until such date as that occurs.
