If you remove an e-person who is responsible for some part of the submission process on items in the repository, you remove provenance information. This isn't desirable from a preservation perspective. It may be harmless to remove otiose e-people (but do they have email subscriptions to any collections or communities?), and it makes perfect sense to review authorization groups now and then to remove privileges from e-people who shouldn't have them, but the error message you note should in my opinion be respected, and the e-people left in the system.
