Steps to reproduce:

Greetings from the Betterbird Project.

Our project is a fork of Thunderbird hosted at https://github.com/Betterbird/thunderbird-patches. In the FOSS world upstream and downstream project benefit from each other, see for example here the recent contributions we made to Thunderbird:

https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/log?rev=betterbird
See here for all contributions since the inception of Betterbird: https://www.betterbird.eu/faq/full-changes.txt

The BMO moderators keep closing our account. In our opinion preventing input to our upstream project Thunderbird is not in the spirit of FOSS where according to [1] (quote) people are encouraged to voluntarily improve the design of the software.

The BMO moderators keep closing our account.

All accounts on BMO are treated equally; likewise our etiquette and code of conduct guidelines are applicable equally.
In order words account disabling happens due to your actions, not to "preventing input to [your] upstream project".
