You could just ask them to use an email address hosted outside of Russia for their kernel development work if visible compliance was the only issue. To not offer them a remedy and to exclude people on the basis of their first or last name is a bizarre overreaction to me. It stands no chance of damaging the Russian government and can only harm the project and open source in general, I'm not sure why a non-profit would involve themselves in this in any way.

These people are employed by companies specifically called out on sanctions, not excluded "due to first or last name".

I don't believe you know this for a fact. Are you able to point me where a list of each developer, their association, and the problem with that association is enumerated?

That post has nothing about names. Serge works for Baikal Electronics who produces electronics for the Russian military and is explicitly sanctioned.

You should practice your trolling skills. You are being way too obvious. At least, I hope so, because if you actually believe this, then this is something only a professional can help you with.

Do you have any examples? Genuinely interested, because it sounds a bit too much for Russian government. Sometimes the code is bad without any malicious intent.
