Here is a summary if you don't want to read the full text (which contains a nice historical overview with screenshots).

Hiker's initial involvement with STK:

I discovered TuxKart in 2006 after installing the latest SUSE distribution [...]
I tried to look for the community developing SuperTuxKart, only to learn that the project had been basically dead and the game in an unplayable state for over one year.

His explanation for stepping down:

the newer team members preferred to pursue a faster-paced development style with fewer reviews, less documentation, less oversight and a reduced need for consensus

Team members Auria (co-leader) and Arthur (social media manager) also decided to step down.

Team members Benau and Alayan have been elected as new team leaders.

This is TL:DR; about gamedev in 2019
