Hi Thomas,
Could I ask a bit about the thinking behind extending the ban to a year?
It wouldn't view it as an extension as much as Ethan took immediate action while the SC was simultaneously working on what to do about the situation. So they were separate actions and the SC's action happened to be longer and broader.
A year is a long time and to me feels similar to asking someone to go away and never come back. It's much longer than is needed to go away and think about things.
Marco was given a previous 3 month suspension on discuss.python.org (as Marco himself pointed out on the email thread in question). Speaking for myself, Marco was given a chance previously to take some time to think about how he approached communicating and it didn't seem to be enough time. I will also note that Marco publicly asked me to ban him for life in one of his emails in the thread as well.
Re the future of python-dev: That sounds a bit ominous. Is the Steering Council considering removing python-dev? Eek.
I am purposefully not replying to this as I don't want to spark a conversation on this topic in this email thread. -Brett
