    Nobody got banned. They were removed from their positions as maintainers, because they work for a sanctioned company.

    Please stop being purposely misleading.

    They can still contribute to their heart’s content. They just can’t submit patches with no oversight, because they are close to the Russian government, who, I don’t know if you’ve realised, has invaded their neighbour and is currently committing genocide.

      Yep I knew that, no clue why I wrote that, sometimes I should probably proofread.

      They were removed from their positions as maintainers, because they work for a sanctioned company.

      But again, employees of non-Russian sanctioned companies were not removed.

      Please stop being purposely misleading.

      I am not, it was genuine slip of the finger? Idk, but if you check my profile there are plenty of examples where I omitted or said the wrong word, I really should proof read more rather- though that would ruin the fun. Stop assuming malice when someone has a different opinion from you and makes a mistake.

      They just can’t submit patches with no oversight

      There is still oversight, plenty of people read every merged commit.

      because they are close to the Russian government

      I’ve never seen anything to support this.

      has invaded their neighbour and is currently committing genocide.

      Invaded yes, genocide I have no clue what really is happening in Ukraine, but I would say it doesn’t look like a genocide. War is bad, killing is bad, but genocide is a specific thing, and this feels a lot like just adding a word to make it sound more bad. The invasion is bad enough.

        You’re getting little in the way of benefit of the doubt because you’re repeatedly trying to make Russia look good and misleading about this.

        It’s also somewhat hard to take you seriously when in another comment you equated drinking alcohol with child rape.

        11 maintainers from sanctioned Russian companies were removed from their position where they could submit patches without any approval required.

        Even if there weren’t sanctions, it would be good to make that move. Russia could easily utilise these people to introduce insecurities. We do not need another xz utils disaster.

        Yes, Russia is committing genocide as the UN defines it. Stop trying to minimise what they’re doing. Genocide. Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine.

        Genocide: “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”

        Putin has been leveling entire cities. He said Ukraine isn’t a real country with a real culture. He has been abducting children and bringing them into Russia so they grow up as Russians. He has been altering signs, maps, etc to erase Ukrainian names.

        That is genocide.
