Sent a mail today to a developer from Iran:
Subject: GitHub TOS and Iran
Hi,
Would you agree to discuss about how GitHub policy is problematic[0] for developers in Iran[1]? Earlier this year I bootstrapped a “forge federation” project that is about allowing developers from everywhere to work together without being subject to such restrictions[2].
Cheers

Update: they kindly replied that they have no time to discuss this right now.
