It depends on who you want to annoy least ;-)

If it's the position of the PSF that some kind(s) of messages must be
suppressed, then I'll need a more-or-less clear definition, from them,
of what those consist of.  At which point I'll agree to enforce them,
or step down as a python-dev moderator.

Just to clarify: this had nothing to do with the PSF, but with the Steering Council and the python-ideas moderators. We were discussing the PEP-8 "controversy" last night, after Titus (one of the python-ideas moderators) asked about putting *that* list in full moderation, and we talked about how the discussion had bled over into python-dev. We weren't clear among ourselves which lists we were talking about anymore when we asked Ernest to see about emergency moderation mode (which wasn't as easy as we would've expected), which is why Ernest did it for both lists. We should've been more careful about this, and looped in the python-dev moderators straight away. Sorry about that.

 

Otherwise, as I said, I've seen nothing on python-dev so far that I
would have rejected.  So all "emergency moderation status" is doing
for python-dev so far is annoying me with more email to go approve
messages waiting in the queue, and to annoy those messages' senders
with delays (waiting for moderator action).

So it's not, in reality, accomplishing anything of value here.  So, if
I were you, I'd disable emergency moderation status on python-dev.
But then I'm old, retired, and notoriously pig-headed ;-)
