I always found it strange that 7-zip appears to be developed by a single individual, despite being very popular.

I know the fact that this lone developer apparently resides in Russia has caused 7-zip to be outright banned in certain places.

That's a particularly ignorant approach, especially considering the whole thing is open-source and auditable.
