But, if this is done by RH, the only thing that comes to my mind is payed sabotage by 3rd party. Someone who wishes public trust to RH, its projects, quality of its work and its employees to go down in small to mid timeframe. Perhaps being uncovered after some time was also part of the plan.
Personally, I cannot imagine an adult starting doing baby-fun to others just because he has bad mood. Salary, rep. as pro.(carrier) , rep. as human(friend circle) - setting all these on fire just because he had bad mood. No possible way, unless something covered his mind(drugs etc).
Of course it would be simpler if it was some sort of Red Hat plot that is if you were an idiot. You and Luc should write a book of conspiracy theories. Mel Gibson might play you in a movie.

So, it was an inside job, and not an exploited vulnerability.
The man who notified this incident made the correct thing, to notify the problem, it is like other people didn't like it to be notified.
This time it was not a lose of data, nor a big problem.
But as Luc said, how can someone now trust that their work will be save in the fd.o server? If this happened once, it can happen thousands of times.
It seems that some do not take this seriously. This is like vandalism, it is not like as simple as saying sorry and giving the keys back. This should in the future (and now too, if possible) have a legal consequence, like paying a fine or jail, not only revoking some admin privilegies.
The fd.o rules should be reviewed and improved.
