And it's getting worse:

They're now blocking mail traffic on kernel.org, even from maintainers.
(my whole company is hard-marked as "spam"). Anything @kernel.org -
lists as well as invidual inboxes.

Still in the process of compiling evidence report. Anybody out there
who's affected too, let me know - will be added to the report.

I wonder when this one will be blocked, too. (I've still got many more
left).

This is clearly NOT what contributors truly want. People from around
the world
once firmly believed that Linux was a free and open-source project.
However,
Greg's commit and Linus' response deeply disappoint them.

Indeed. The trust that had been bulit up in decades is now finally
destroyed - just by a few mails.

Linux has been turned into POSS, politware.

Open-source projects might be international, but the people or
organizations
controlling them are not. This is the source of concern and
disappointment.

That's why those projects should never depend on just a few individuals
or organisations in one specific country.
