Haha, I received a similar off-list reply.

I deeply sympathize with Greg-kh's situation and his unspoken
difficulties, although I don't understand why the MAINTAINERS file, as
part of the kernel code, should be off-limits to non-maintainer
developers, especially when this clearly isn't just about 'modifying the
MAINTAINERS file.'

If any Linux developer tacitly approves of this, they're essentially
giving a green light to some shady political actors from a certain
country to coerce people into betraying it's constitution.

That's absurd. Again, my heart goes out to all (including Greg-kh) that
affected by this.

I mean no offense to anyone, but this action will completely destroy the
trust that developers worldwide have in the Linux kernel project and the
entire Linux Foundation, and the politicians forcing you to do this
clearly don't care about that.

To avoid becoming pawns in a political game and to prevent alienating
all the developers who have contributed to the Linux kernel, I sincerely
suggest that you maintainers revert this commit and promise not to do
something like this again.

And I urge everyone who agrees that this is unreasonable to reply to
"[PATCH] Revert "MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various
compliance requirements." with their own "Reviewed-by".

Remember: What sets humans apart from animals is our undying spirit of
resistance. We cannot be domesticated or tamed by others.

Finally, I'd like to share a quote from Norse mythology: Only warriors
who die in battle are worthy of entering Valhalla.
