Where did those maintainers go after Linux removed them from Russia?
Maybe Greenland?
It might be related to sanctions on Baikal Electronics. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35182705
Kokshaysky has nothing to do with it, probably banned for .ru TLD of his email address which is at Moscow State Uni where he has worked since 1987.
I think it's pretty careless of GHK not to provide any references to the 'compliance requirements'. It just opens the door for all kinds of speculation and guesswork.
On another note, Huawei has 42 maintainers listed in the upstream MAINTAINERS file, even with all the sanctions from the US. It's a bit puzzling, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it.
At least its not Kroah-Hartman withholding details, its lawyers failing to provide a text block that does not need to resort to ambiguity:

I wonder if they will remove any of the related code for Baikal hardware.
