Luke Dashjr claims the forked BIP repository as the official repository.

On November 11 that, according to The Defiant, Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr claimed bitcoin-specs/BIPs is the "official" repository for Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs). GitHub has marked the repository as a fork of the original bitcoin/bips repository, which remains active.

The report states that Dashjr restored his BIP editor status 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", with an editor list of five individuals that excludes Dashjr.

Dashjr was stripped of his BIP editor status in August, a change he claimed was unauthorized.
