Maubach–Poloni's GLIN conjecture for polynomial automorphism groups

Let K\mathbb{K} be a field, and let GAn(K){\rm GA}_n(\mathbb{K}) denote the group of polynomial automorphisms of affine nn-space over K\mathbb{K}. Let GLINn(K){\rm GLIN}_n(\mathbb{K}) be the subgroup introduced by Maubach and Poloni consisting of automorphisms satisfying their linearization property. Maubach–Poloni's conjecture. If KF2\mathbb{K}\neq\mathbb{F}_2, then

GLINn(K)=GAn(K).{\rm GLIN}_n(\mathbb{K})={\rm GA}_n(\mathbb{K}).

This is trivial for n=1n=1 and follows from the Jung–van der Kulk theorem for n=2n=2, but remains open for n3n\geq 3. The hypothesis KF2\mathbb{K}\neq\mathbb{F}_2 is necessary.
