Luke Dashjr Claims Forked BIP Repository Is the Official Repository

TechFlow reported on Nov. 11, citing The Defiant, that Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr has claimed Bitcoin-specs/BIPs is the 'official' repository for Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs). GitHub has marked this repository as a fork of the original bitcoin/bips repository, which remains active.

According to the report, Dashjr restored his role as a BIP editor in the new repository and changed the status of BIP-110, which aims to temporarily restrict arbitrary data in Bitcoin transactions, from 'Closed' back to 'Complete.' The original repository still marks the proposal as 'Closed,' and its editor list includes 5 people, excluding Dashjr.

Dashjr had previously been removed as a BIP editor in August, which he said was unauthorized.
