If you want to make your own fork and put those maintainers back and it's not against the laws of your country then go ahead. Linus is almost certainly not in that position.
It's not really obvious to me, and looks like to some other people too. It would really help if gkh explicitly said what law prohibits collaboration with Russia-based maintainers or what specific legal consequences they are avoiding in this manner. The vagueness just creates a sense of uncertainty for every non-Western contributor
