CIA will just tamper either hardware and/or core distros like Debian.
They shouldn't need to do anymore because that could backfire like crazy against the US economies in case of a a zero day.
On Russia and China, these are second-tier risks levels, easier to avoid.

Communicating clearly that you cannot currently accept contributions from people potentially associated with problematic businesses is an understandable decision. Tone of voice stated following the removal of a list of names of people you used to work with not too long makes this sound like a petty statement if anything.
