    Contributors in sanctioned regions is concerning, though. Would be great to do a transparent post-mortem.

    maybe we should do post-mortems for contributors from the USA?

    Let me get this straight. A contributor was only temporarily traveling in a US-sanctioned region, they didn’t attempt to push a commit while they were there, only that they visited the region?

      My guess is that Microsoft decided that Maps.me was actually Russian and this Organic maps is a Russian app.
