[PATCH] Revert "MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements."

This reverts commit 6e90b675cf942e50c70e8394dfb5862975c3b3b2.

An absolutely no-one-ever-reviewed patch, not even by the maintainers who
got removed themselves - at least not on the mailing list. Then the patch
just got slipped into an unrelated subsystem pull request, and got pulled
by Torvalds with not even a comment.

What about the next time? Who next would be removed from the MAINTAINERS
file, the kernel.org infrastructure? What if the compliance requires
another XZ backdoor to be developed without further explanation? Is the
kernel development process still done in public?

Are the "compliance requirements" documented on docs.kernel.org? Who are
responsible for them? Are all that are responsible employees of
The Linux Foundation, which is regulated by the U.S. legislature?

Fixes: 6e90b675cf94 ("MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements.")
