Huawei is under same level of sanctions, but nobody with `[email protected]` is removed from Maintainers list. So, probably "sanctions" are not the reason.

>Huawei is under same level of sanctions

is it? the actual specifics of the sanctions matter, I don't think any of the US sanctions would prevent them from participating in kernel programming.

Would you happen to know which specific sanctions text relates to kernel programming?

I don't but with Huawei, the situation is mostly that we don't want to import their technology or give them our technology. With Russia, we basically prohibit all business in general with the entire country.

Spying and invading are different things. Huawei can’t be under same level of sanctions by definition.
