The reason I replied is because of the “submissions” part. They aren’t doing that, everyone can still submit code that might get accepted. What they did was remove some of the people in charge of deciding what gets accepted from the team.

It seems like a pretty good story to tell those evil westerners: Actually Russia is crazy enough to start a nuclear exchange because of wacky religious bullshit, so better appease them!

They removed maintainers that work for Russian corporations, they are not blocking submissions from any Russian citizen.

Now this truly is some Dark Eldar nonsense.
