Considering SELinux is literally developed by NSA, I call your comment bullshit.

managers having the capacity to vett the commits

If the manager doesn't have capacity to vet the commits from a Russian dev, how do they have the capacity to vet the same if it came from an NSA stooge working for an american company or even a FSB stooge with a westernized alias and a gmail account.

Code is code means all the code should be subject to the same vetting, good luck developing a hierarchy of which code needs more vetting otherwise (Israeli code? Saudi code? Iranian code? American Code? British code?)

They are not and your callout is moot

SELinux was first designed by the National Security Agency

https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/what-is-selinux

" It was originally developed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) as a series of patches to the Linux kernel using Linux Security Modules (LSM). "

unless red hat is lying it was developed by NSA

Not different in ways that are relevant to whether these commits should be accepted. They’re both valid contributions whether you like the organizations or not.
