True, but that's because Linux is kind of in a bind due to this war, but Linux probably benefits more from aligning with the western powers rather than fight for a handful of maintainers. Not that Linus would fight for Russian maintainers.

Partially agree: money by itself do not maintain Linux. You need a man - willing and competent one.

We'll see, whether empty positions would be filled or not.
