It seems GMP servers block assess from russian networks (I tried several providers). Is this intentional? And if so, maybe it should be documented somehow?

I'm aware about "M$ DoS attack" (i.e. https://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-discuss/2023-June/006906.html), maybe it's related (I've noticed this ~August, everything was working before past summer).

I've tried to ask this on the gmp-discuss, but it looks like messages are lost in a black hole. Perhaps it's related somehow to "We are blocking all email from PR China", but according to my tests, google ips that appear in my emails aren't originated from China networks.

Sure, I know some tricks and I can access the GMP docs. But the GMP library is a part of the GNU project. If it bans some contribution or restrict access for some countries - that decision should be public.

Sorry for asking here, but I was unable to reach the GMP maintainers in any other way. Maybe someone else could help.
