@LaF0rge did you think about the protection this gives to russian maintainers? Russia might nudge or force those maintainers to do something for its hybrid, low level war. They are no longer a target for this.

@dg3hda @LaF0rge "fun" fact: contributing to Linux is technically a crime in Russia

@dg3hda I believe pretty much any intelligence service of any country has the power to "nudge" anyone either way - if they'd really want to. And who says that there aren't various "sleeper maintainers" under false English names and gmail.com email addresses in the MAINTAINERS file... I think this is all security theater.

@LaF0rge well possible, but still not counteracting this protection.
