They removed russian maintainers that are associated with sanctioned companies. Individual russian contributers were unaffected by this.

Your are voluntarily spreading fake news and you are getting upvoted for that !

They have removed every person they suspected to be russian or have a russian ".ru" domain name in their email from the maintainers list.

Sorry bot, only those working for companies under sanction. And this doesn't mean they can't contribute, just that their contributions need to be approved by someone else.

But I'm pretty sure the Russian git repo will allow us based Microsoft employees be on the mantainers list... Right? Russia state is nothing if not honest, consistent and imperi... friendly with other nations
