I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that sanctions means you can
not buy things from them, sell things to them, or otherwise exchange
money.  It does NOT mean you are forbidden from emailing them or
mentioning their email address.

And even if, somehow, legally they must be removed from their maintainer
role, the commit doing it should still be clear.
