The article barely cares about that in the article. It's obsessed with unmasking identities of open source contributors.

  Where does it say that they're unmasking contributors?

    Is rhetoric like "an ocean of contributors whose identities and motivation are often obscure, making it hard to hold them accountable.", "Experts are worried that blind spots about the people who run open-source software make the whole edifice ripe for potential manipulation and attacks.", and "The government is only just realizing that our critical infrastructure is running code that could be literally being written by sanctioned entities. Right now.” not honest enough from a group with military funding?

      None of that says that they're trying to unmask people. That could also be editorializing by the article author. That could also mean, in a literal sense, that they just want to quantify how many people are unknown quantities, and what code they're contributing. You can make the logical leap to unmasking, but it is still a leap.
