[PATCH] CREDITS: do the decent thing
Posted by Edward Cree 1 month ago
Acknowledge the past contributions of those whom the Linux project no
 longer permits to be maintainers owing to sanctions against their
 employers.

Fixes: 6e90b675cf94 ("MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements.")
Signed-off-by: Edward Cree <ec429@cantab.net>

Just because we can no longer work with someone does not mean we have
 to efface their name from history.  Whether we consider them to be
 good or bad people, I have seen no-one claiming that any of them were
 bad *kernel maintainers*.  As an international collaboration, Linux
 should be above national animosities, and where local laws force our
 hand we should not go one step further than those laws require.  Are
 we truly so small, so self-righteous?
Oh, and dear Linus: I'm not a Russian troll.  I hate Russian military
 expansionism (current and historic) just as much as you.  Try to use
 *your* mush to realise that opposing the ham-handed and secretive way
 the MAINTAINERS patch was done does not make one a supporter of
 Russian aggression.

Sent from my personal address rather than my work account, because I
 don't want to give my employer's lawyers any more of an aneurysm than
 I doubtless already am.

Odd whitespace formatting, can you fix that up if you wish to resend
this?

Overall, I have no objection to this, but normally CREDIT changes come
from the people who are being listed, so they can choose how they wish
to be listed.  Can you work with those developers to do that here as
well?

thanks,

Agreed with all of the above and:

the subsequent lines.
