      Seems so arbitrary that they just block the entire project instead of the user in the sanctioned region.

      ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      Probably for the best, GitHub seems like a liability (to a lamen like me, anyway)

  Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?

  Not according to that thread - it looks like they don’t yet know what caused it:

  mastodon.social/@organicmaps/114178916120483761

  No any details from GitHub yet. One contributor mentioned a temporary visit to disputed areas a long time ago — GitHub probably just flagged the account, and their bots messed up after that.
