I am pretty sure they just grep'd mail.ru, added a couple of other sus entries and pushed the commit. It's painfully obvious if you take a look at the file https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/MAINTAINERS https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/MAINTAINERS, there are no mail.ru addresses left (it's a public email service akin to gmail). The next day someone woke up Linus and told him to answer the public and he came up with the usual FU. That's basically all.
