Subject: [MAINTAINERS SUMMIT] Transparency when rejecting patches without technical reason

Hi all,

this obviously aims at the rejection of networking patches from Baikal
Electronics in March. I only got to know about this yesterday when
reading comments about Debian now supporting the LoongArch architecture.

I admit I thought we accept / reject patches purely because of technical
reasons. If this turns out not to be possible, can we at least agree on
giving detailed reasons then? Like, was it a personal opinion? Was it
because of sanctions? Without reasons as in [1], it makes discussion
harder. And I think we need discussions here to negotiate common
grounds.

With regards,

   Wolfram
