MarcB, are you thinking that the sanctions are by nationality? I do not think that is the case as it looks like the US sanctions actually target 500 specific entities[1] in Russia. A maintainer doesn't need to show that they work for a foreign corporation, which I could imagine might appear to some like disavowing Russia, they can show they work for some other Russian business.
