Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?

    Insane that Github blocked their entire development without discussing it with them though. Ban the contributor, not the entire open source project.

    Sounds like an easy way to do unproportional damage to projects with a bit of location spoofing.

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

    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.
