Nick,

Thanks for doing this emotionally grueling task.

OK, I've sent the notification to Anatoly. I cc'ed Guido and Ezio
(since I included their offer to mediate tracker access) and also
bcc'ed the list admins for the three currently affected lists (so they
know why his posts start appearing in the moderation queue).

I don't appear to have the necessary tracker access to actually move
his account to read-only status, though (this change should be made on
the meta-tracker as well).

Regards,
Nick.
