One small correction. On quora, you state that there is no such thing as public documentation for the NT kernel internals.

There IS public documentation for the NT kernel internals. It is called Windows Internals Book (https://amzn.to/2xCQla5) and has survived its’ 7th Edition

And one of the authors of said book is also quite a prominent member of the ReactOS team.

Did he work for Microsoft though? If yes, I wonder what kind of interaction between him and Mark Russinovich.

No, he did not. Mark Russinovich also started to work on Microsoft only recently.

Yep, you are right, https://www.linkedin.com/in/markrussinovich/

But still in 2006 ReactOS already had its 0.3.0 version and 8 years of existence ^) And book Microsoft Windows Internals, Fourth Edition has already been released in 2004

“Recently” is relative. I find 2006 pretty recent.

Now, Anders has been there a while already...
