I don't see the point of requiring to "write an apology", especially *before a 12-month ban*. If they understand that their behavior is wrong, there's no need for a ban, at least not such a long one; if they don't, they clearly aren't going to write it, at least not now (they might later, after a few weeks or months, having cooled down and thought it over). So all it would achieve is public shaming AFAICS. Same issue with the threat of "zero tolerance policy" -- it's completely unnecessary and only serves to humiliate and alienate the recipient.
That's my impression as well. Also, we now have an unmaintained module (_decimal) requiring specific competence.
Please elaborate. I feel like you are insinuating something with your "unmaintained module" remark.
Well, it's not hard to notice that Stefan was the maintainer (as well as the primary or sole author) of the C _decimal module, right? I wouldn't say for sure, but I don't expect him to transmit patches through a third party, now that the SC banned him for 12 months, and that he publicly resigned (signalling that he has probably no intention to try to come back). Do you think otherwise? Or do you think there's someone else ready to take up maintenance? Are you volunteering for that? Regards Antoine.
