Noticed this on Reddit. Very little context in the above. Posting here in hopes that knowledgeable individuals can chime in with links and info.

How is accepting a PR account to having a relationship with an individual. Popular OS repository would have code contribution from 1000s of contributor, it's possible that the maintainer don't personally know a majority of them. This just don't make sense.

It doesn't make sense.

But they're in a country where the law also might not make sense.

Technical / administrative issues aside here I can understand how an individual might fear some sort of retaliation... even if the basis for it is absurd, the consequences could be very real.

All the people arguing semantics when the author lives in a repressive dictatorship that would literally torture you for a confession and then execute you for it.. if anyone EVER comes by this PR even a decade from now.

Meanwhile, no one here would even think of violating US export controls against North Korea... when the consequences are likely just prison time.

Armchair tough guys.
