I say Ezio lets him know that this is the plan since he talked to him recently and is in the no-ban-yet camp.Yesterday I talked to him, informed him about the probation and showed him this message. I hope this is official enough.
So, what was the reaction? That is the important thing to know...
He acknowledged the fact, but I think he had already understood the issue from our previous conversation.
...and?
Does he care about what was said? Is he going to do anything about his actions?
He does, and he is already trying to improve. We already discussed about the issue and how to solve it in our previous conversation (see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2012-December/002307.html), so informing him about the probation only served to let him know the specific punishment(s) he might face.
The fact that this discussion sidetracked into contributor agreements is not a good sign to me. He should have just said those things himself to the PSF's legal counsel, not in response to an email about his behavior...
I'm doing this via chat (I think it's better/more effective than emails), so sidetracking is not so unexpected (we even ended up discussing things that are completely unrelated after we clarified the important points). The discussion about the CLA started because he said that some of the "accusations" in the thread are not true -- in particular that "He flat-out refuses to sign any contributor agreement". I asked him why he hasn't signed it and if there was any problem with the contributor agreement, and so he replied.
