As mentioned on IRC:
https://help.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-and-trade-controls

Github being a US company was a point of contention back when we converted
to git. But because of how git works, we are not bound to Github. The repos
are also mirrored in Canada and by everyone who clones one. Most of the
onus is on Github - they can't let people from restricted countries do many
things, but that's not really our problem. Our code is not bound by Github
or US law.

So as a matter of law, you don't have to do anything different. You're not
directly contributing to restricted countries.
