Update MAINTAINERS

[quake]

Follow 6e90b67, remove some entries due to various compliance requirements. They cannot come back in the future as huawei is sanctioned by most "freedom" countries in the world.

To all down voters:

If you haven't heard of huawei sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean China state-sponsored spam.

Hi @quake!

Thanks for your contribution to the Linux kernel!

Linux kernel development happens on mailing lists, rather than on GitHub - this GitHub repository is a read-only mirror that isn't used for accepting contributions. So that your change can become part of Linux, please email it to us as a patch.

Sending patches isn't quite as simple as sending a pull request, but fortunately it is a well documented process.

Here's what to do:

• Format your contribution according to kernel requirements
• Decide who to send your contribution to
• Set up your system to send your contribution as an email
• Send your contribution and wait for feedback

How do I format my contribution?

The Linux kernel community is notoriously picky about how contributions are formatted and sent. Fortunately, they have documented their expectations.

Firstly, all contributions need to be formatted as patches. A patch is a plain text document showing the change you want to make to the code, and documenting why it is a good idea.

You can create patches with git format-patch.

Secondly, patches need 'commit messages', which is the human-friendly documentation explaining what the change is and why it's necessary.

Thirdly, changes have some technical requirements. There is a Linux kernel coding style, and there are licensing requirements you need to comply with.

Both of these are documented in the Submitting Patches documentation that is part of the kernel.

Note that you will almost certainly have to modify your existing git commits to satisfy these requirements. Don't worry: there are many guides on the internet for doing this.

Where do I send my contribution?

The Linux kernel is composed of a number of subsystems. These subsystems are maintained by different people, and have different mailing lists where they discuss proposed changes.

If you don't already know what subsystem your change belongs to, the get_maintainer.pl script in the kernel source can help you.

get_maintainer.pl will take the patch or patches you created in the previous step, and tell you who is responsible for them, and what mailing lists are used. You can also take a look at the MAINTAINERS file by hand.

Make sure that your list of recipients includes a mailing list. If you can't find a more specific mailing list, then LKML - the Linux Kernel Mailing List - is the place to send your patches.

It's not usually necessary to subscribe to the mailing list before you send the patches, but if you're interested in kernel development, subscribing to a subsystem mailing list is a good idea. (At this point, you probably don't need to subscribe to LKML - it is a very high traffic list with about a thousand messages per day, which is often not useful for beginners.)

How do I send my contribution?

Use git send-email, which will ensure that your patches are formatted in the standard manner. In order to use git send-email, you'll need to configure git to use your SMTP email server.

For more information about using git send-email, look at the Git documentation or type git help send-email. There are a number of useful guides and tutorials about git send-email that can be found on the internet.

How do I get help if I'm stuck?

Firstly, don't get discouraged! There are an enormous number of resources on the internet, and many kernel developers who would like to see you succeed.

Many issues - especially about how to use certain tools - can be resolved by using your favourite internet search engine.

If you can't find an answer, there are a few places you can turn:

• Kernel Newbies - this website contains a lot of useful resources for new kernel developers.
• The kernel documentation - see also the Documentation directory in the kernel tree.

If you get really, really stuck, you could try the owners of this bot, @daxtens and @ajdlinux. Please be aware that we do have full-time jobs, so we are almost certainly the slowest way to get answers!

I sent my patch - now what?

You wait.

You can check that your email has been received by checking the mailing list archives for the mailing list you sent your patch to. Messages may not be received instantly, so be patient. Kernel developers are generally very busy people, so it may take a few weeks before your patch is looked at.

Then, you keep waiting. Three things may happen:

• You might get a response to your email. Often these will be comments, which may require you to make changes to your patch, or explain why your way is the best way. You should respond to these comments, and you may need to submit another revision of your patch to address the issues raised.
• Your patch might be merged into the subsystem tree. Code that becomes part of Linux isn't merged into the main repository straight away - it first goes into the subsystem tree, which is managed by the subsystem maintainer. It is then batched up with a number of other changes sent to Linus for inclusion. (This process is described in some detail in the kernel development process guide).
• Your patch might be ignored completely. This happens sometimes - don't take it personally. Here's what to do:
  • Wait a bit more - patches often take several weeks to get a response; more if they were sent at a busy time.
  • Kernel developers often silently ignore patches that break the rules. Check for obvious violations of the Submitting Patches guidelines, the style guidelines, and any other documentation you can find about your subsystem. Check that you're sending your patch to the right place.
  • Try again later. When you resend it, don't add angry commentary, as that will get your patch ignored. It might also get you silently blacklisted.

Happy hacking!

The correct way is to revert the commit 6e90b67

don't let the mistake get worse.

[gulprun]

The decision to remove maintainers based on their .ru email domains is both impractical and problematic. It doesn’t account for all Russian contributors, as not all use .ru domains, and it sets a concerning precedent for potentially targeting other developers in the future.

For instance, if the geopolitical situation worsens, distinguishing Chinese developers could become similarly difficult, given that many don’t use .cn email addresses. Such actions risk fragmenting the open-source community. If this policy was deemed necessary, it should have been accompanied by clear and transparent communication to the affected developers and the community at large. Without that, it feels more like a symbolic move than a constructive one.

[Miracle05]

Can you explain "various compliance requirements"?

[RinLin-NYA]

That's not enough.
We should remove any contributors who come from Russia, China(with HongKong Macau), South Africa, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Algeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Jordan, Egypt, Liberia, Cuba, Venezuela and any other Countries or Regions exclude West Europe and North America lol

This is just a joke, btw why so~~~~~ many people really in favor to this?

[armv7a]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[NorthernBlow]

you should use git revert

[NorthernBlow]

Not enough has been done to break up the opensource community. you have a lot of work ahead of you.

Are we still in 21st century?

[alex3236]

u know what, i think we should remove any codes that are made outside of the US

[ShEpic]

@quake These actions are discrimination on the basis of nationality and racism, support for sanctions that are illegal in circumvention of the UN, accordingly I have filed a complaint against you, which will definitely be considered.

[M1NGS]

well done, but you forgot something such as Hikvision, DJI, ZTE, Bytedance, kylix linux......

I suggest removing all ".com" emails to ensure that the open-source community is not influenced by any COMpany

遵循 6e90b67，由于各种合规性要求，删除了一些条目。他们将来不能回来，因为华为受到世界上大多数自由国家的制裁。

---更新---致所有落选的选民：

如果您还没有听说过华为的制裁，您应该有一天尝试阅读新闻。我所说的“新闻”，我不是指中国国家支持的垃圾邮件。

[YuukyuuKikan]

I'm just curious. Relevant developers have been removed from MAINTAINERS and not been added to CREDITS. Doesn't that action violate GPL-v2 license?

No, as long as such actions are not sued. :P

[stenogriz]

No, as long as such actions are not sued. :P

Got it. One could deem this as an end of trust and goodwill of open source licenses. If you have enough resources you can go to US court? This is massive. I am just overwhelmed with emotions.

After all these years seeing massive changes in the world I've learned to take everything as a joke, just in case I get mad over them. It does cost however, I'm already losing my avidity.

总结：
昨日一事让我大为光火的是，在我近距离了解星海这种人实际水平和综合表现的前提下，如此学术骗子一般的行为居然能够得到大肆吹捧。我单凭一己之力不可能挽回这种近年积累下来的已经越来越差的环境，只能提醒各位还能有自主认知和判断的人注意这种现象，留心这种人。
之前我也说过了，网上骂战不论输赢，只图一个爽，如果能够引起大家足够的警惕那么更好。有人回复我酸对面点击量或是打压对方，对于类似这种抱有不成熟想法的回复，我全部选择不予理睬。我从0粉丝开始直播，不过是给大家一个看我打游戏的窗口，就算跌回0也无所谓，但有些人可能永远想不通STG就是孤独者的游戏，不装逼就会死的那种。
明人不做暗事，以下几位已经被我拉黑：星海，实况主，六开前途无量。想追随他们而去的人大可以取关我，洗粉我求之不得。
有些人表面上跟我嘻嘻哈哈，背地里说我坏话，这都随便，网线一拔谁认识谁？而且我也奋斗不了2年了，我从18岁开始接触东方，再过2年，我人生一半时间都将耗在这上面，人生没有多少个18岁，谁都有过风华正茂，而又终将老去。所剩时日不多，感谢仍然坚持支持我的诸位，带好你们的脑子，擦亮你们的眼睛，再过不久你们就将完全迎来全新的时代。

Should we remove every contributors who have relation to the entities that has been listed here by the US goverment? 🤣🤣🤣

[FreeOfVirtue]

有个很明显的问题，林纳斯在美国会遭遇NSA/FBI威胁。在中国他可能会接受王洪文同样的待遇，比如使用噪声蜂鸣器来审讯和威胁他，因为他这种人物的影响力实际上已经不弱于王洪文了。在俄罗斯的情况，那就请想想杜罗夫当年是怎么选择离开俄罗斯的吧。在法国杜罗夫前几个月的遭遇不用多说，在英国，乔治.奥威尔的下场已经说明了。

There's the obvious problem that Linus would be subject to NSA/FBI threats in the US. In China he would probably receive the same treatment as Wang Hongwen, such as the use of noise buzzers to interrogate and threaten him, since the influence of a figure like him is practically no less than that of Wang Hongwen. In the case of Russia, consider then how Durov chose to leave Russia back then. It goes without saying what happened to Durov in France in the first few months, and in the UK, what happened to George . Orwell's downfall has been illustrated. -- Machine Translation

不过要是在中国，Linus不符合那些制裁管理规定恐怕就要，享受王洪文一样的待遇了吧。

Kind reminder on this PR.

Why it has not been merged to master yet? How's progress? I expected we were living in such a democratic world of equal opportunities for everyone, but they ban Linux kernel maintainers after quick look on their emails.

The laws and regulations should be equal for everyone? Or what? Maybe somebody's business depends on conjuncture and money? What should you do, linus?
