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.
