It seems they’re not being removed because they’re Russian, but instead because they work for specific companies who are subject to US sanctions:

If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.
