0) this happened out of nowhere several years into sanctions
1) so some busybody probably reported Semin recently (the only person with non-.ru email address on the list) for past involvement with Baikal Electronics (on sanctions since 2022-09-15) - reported to LinuxFoundation or to authorities
2) LF lawyered up and out of abundance of caution removed all .ru email domain users from MAINTAINERS, since lawyers probably tell them this covers them for now, without having to deep dive into every apparently Russia associated developer
3) mailing list shitshow after top handlers of this situation went all contemptuous to concerned mailing list contributors, who all saw very obvious targetting of all .ru and .ru email holders only without reason (OFAC list is public, and they're not there)
