If they recreated it from scratch though, I don't see what was stolen. Unless they incorporated your implementation somehow, I can't see how this rises to stealing. There can be many competing implementations towards the same spec, and using one over the other is not necessarily theft.

I'm kind of confused. What work did they take? From the communications, it looks like you wrote some code, it wasn't accepted, and Leah wrote their own implementation, from scratch. Is that not true? Unless they based their work off your code somehow, I don't see how anything was stolen, potential dickishness from the maintainer aside.
This take is so incredibly bad I'm almost thinking that you're a troll. "Everything was good under Trump π" -> "Everything was bad under Biden π‘" therefore Trump good, Biden bad is probably the most juvenile and pathetic logical fallacy that persists in our shared political thought. I'm not sure if you remember, but there was a little thing called COVID that happened which shocked supply lines, trade, took a huge toll on our collective mental health, and created an economic crisis. Acting like Biden caused that is so ridiculous, I have a hard time believing that even you believe that.
You could argue that Biden handled the recovery poorly (and I don't think that's a bad argument), but then you'd have to compare it with how Trump would have handled such a recovery -- something we really don't know. Given his contempt for the working class it is doubtful it would be any better, and there was plenty of room for it to be actively worse.
