It isn't clear to me whether our rules impose sanctions on maintainers

We do not impose any such sanctions.
Who is "we" here? Do you speak on behalf of the dgit team, or the DFSG
team, or project-wide consensus?
I appreciate that the dgit team has said they are not going to delete my
contributions for having non-Free history, but that doesn't help me if
some other part of the project (for example the DFSG team) declares
non-Free history to be a social contract violation; and because of the
nature of git history, I have to try to satisfy the requirements of
every plausible future set of rules, not just the current one.
