Hello Ivan,
As mentioned, this was sent to python-committers, i.e. all core developers. The Steering Council, Conduct WG, and PSF Board have been working incredibly diligently on this incident for quite some time. Remember that almost all of us are volunteers too!
We have tried to balance transparency and communication with respecting the privacy and reputation of the individuals involved, including the banned member and members who were reprimanded but not banned. We tried to balance the severity of the corrective action with the hope that these members will reflect on the reasons for the warnings or ban, and when they next engage with the community, how they can more closely follow the spirit and letter of the code of conduct.
Making this community a place where people feel included, safe, and welcome is exactly why the Steering Council has taken the actions it has taken. If you are still feeling scared, I urge you to reach out to the Steering Council to express your concerns and feelings.
Cheers, -Barry

Hi,
I don't remember participating in any of the recent discussions on the mentioned lists. Why is this sent to me? Can you mention any particular posts? The scary atmosphere here becomes unbearable. I wasn't very active lately anyway, and I think I will stop contributing indefinitely.
Best regards, Ivan

This message was thoughtfully and respectfully sent by the Steering Council as a serious reminder that the privilege to serve as a core developer comes with the responsibility to act thoughtfully.
Based on Code of Conduct violations in your recent mailing list posts, and under the recommendation of the Code of Conduct Working Group, the Python Steering Council has voted to issue a three-month corrective action to you for Core Python development. This corrective action bans you from all Core Development privileges including commit rights, issue tracker privileges, and participation in all core development communication spaces including mailing lists, Discourse, and Zulip channels. This corrective action will be in effect for three months. At the end of the three month period, these privileges will be automatically reinstated.
The Python Code of Conduct workgroup reviewed the conduct reports and recommended that corrective action was necessary for the violations. The Python Steering Council finds these violations to be serious breaches of civility and expected core development conduct.
Please consider this corrective action as a serious reminder that Python core development is a privilege. This privilege to serve as a core developer comes with the responsibility to act thoughtfully and reflect on how hostile communications are harmful to other members of the community. We trust that you will respect the temporary loss of privileges and the seriousness of this action.
Respectfully, Python Steering Council
