Because the maintainer could've been a foreigner who sees a "huawei.org" email address and imagines that they might want to apply unpleasant pressure to get their typo fixes merged.
Having a Chinese name makes it a bit less likely that the maintainer is influenced by such stereotypes and makes the critique of Huawei harder to dismiss out of hand.
