I'm not just making a rhetorical point. I wouldn't accept that sort
of
unilateral behaviour from my work colleagues.
It wasn't a unilateral decision. If it was then I would have just done it without opening an issue or bringing it up here. I mentioned it here
just in
case someone might get upset by it (which obviously happened).
FWIW, Eric Smith and myself (co-"owners" of the mailing list) supported this when Brett asked.
I think Steven's objection was me wanting to state in the devguide that core devs would adhere to the CoC in all Python-related interactions in the community regardless of whether that interaction explicitly occurred under the purview of the CoC, which is a stronger statement than just this mailing list being under the CoC.

I hope, Steven, you're by now convinced that this wasn't a cloak-and-dagger operation (really, for volunteer work there is no such thing as "business hours").
Neither is it a unique thing for a python.org mailing list. This is especially important: what is so different about python-ideas that it needs the CoC, while -committers doesn't? Much better to be consistent and to have the same standards applied to every list (eventually).
cheers, Georg
