Maintainers (not contributers or their contributions) associated with sanctioned russian companies were removed. The Linux foundation is a legal entity that has to comply with international sanctions.
Could someone compile a list of maintainers associated with israeli companies to highlight the hypocrisy of removing russian associated maintainers to comply with international sanctions, when the ICJ has an ongoing case of genocide against israel?
While I agree with the sentiment, the decision to remove these maintainers seems to have been purely legally based. It stands to reason that the Linux foundation will follow and remove sanctioned Israeli maintainers if they end up on a list of sanctioned companies/people.
