This implies that Salsa is happy to create accounts for people under the age of 13, since the implicit statement here is that Debian's own Git hosting infrastructure is less excluding than GitHub. That's a somewhat surprising statement to me, given the complicated legal issues involved in taking personal data from someone that young, so I want to double-check: is that in fact the case? (US embargoes are indeed going to be a problem for any service hosted in the United States, and possibly an issue, depending on the details, for any maintainer with US citizenship even if they're using a site hosted elsewhere. I would not dare to venture an analysis without legal advice.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
