So many bad-faith arguments being made about this.
Independent of any arguments about who asked for this to happen and why: A free software project always has the right to choose which contributors it trusts and which it doesn't. I've seen no evidence that these people are banned from submitting patches due to their nationality. They've been remove from a particular role in the project due to political reasons. An organization is an inherently political entity.
Remember when codes of conduct destroyed all of free software and nothing ever got built again? Me neither. It's the same thing.

Need to get people to bump this higher up. Great take.
I thought it was that their patches were merged at the same time as their names were removed from the Maintainers list
