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.

I don’t have any confirmations of your points

The kernel and its changes are open source, you can just look at the changes that were made.

Are you russian by any chance?

Because it’s rare to see the words “anti-russia lies” anywhere else.

If they were associated with Russian aligned companies I see no issue.
