@ntt @itsfoss It was done for legal reasons. Linux Foundation is in USA. Linux infrastructure is in USA. They have to respect United States law, including sanctions. People employed by sanctioned companies cannot be listed as maintainers. In some cases it's silly, as one maintainer was maintaining support for Russian hardware his employer made, but law doesn't have exceptions for "silly cases".
