        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?

        El oh el.

        Ah okay, not quite a satisfactory explanation but it seems like it wasn’t that intentional. Thanks for this

      The reason was not specified in exact details, but it was likely because a contributor was temporarily geolocated in a U.S.-sanctioned region.

        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.

          In all fairness it looks like one of the main maintainers could be Russian.
