A good question is how is the kernel community handling this ? There
are plenty of developers from China contributing to the Linux kernel,
and they have to send patches for that.

In any case, if a contributor is indeed not able to send patches by
e-mail due to state restriction, I will personally be very fine with a
patch sent as attachment to an e-mail or a bug tracker entry. It would
be difficult to handle this for a large number of contributions, but
for a few contributions, it is much nicer than simply ignoring them.

Best regards,

Thomas
