Please refrain from posting on the PEP 8 threads for 24 hours

Regardless of what side you fall on, I think we can agree that emotions are running very high at the moment. Nothing is going to change in at least the next 24 hours, so I am personally asking folks to step back for at least that long and think about:
1. Is what you want to say going to contribute to the discussion? 2. Is it being phrased in a polite, constructive fashion?
If after 24 hours of reflection you feel your email still meets these criteria then I would say it's reasonable to send that email.

As python-dev's primary moderator, I endorse and second Brett's request.
No, I'm not slapping blanket moderation on the list unless forced to. This is just a sensible adult-to-adult request to cool down and restore at least a shallow illusion;-) of mutual civility.

If someone continues to feed the PEP 8 discussion, would it be possible to change their account to require moderation for 1 day or maybe even up to 1 week? I know that Mailman 3 makes it possible.

I see no such capability. I could, for example, manually fiddle things so that messages from your email address are held for moderation, but that would persist until I manually undid it egain.
But there seem to be many things Mailman 3 is theoretically capable of that aren't available via the list owner web UI. That's the only admin access I have (or want).

I've never heard of it having the ability to automatically time out a moderation flag. What could be done (I think Mailman3 has it) is put a filter on the topic subject to hold those messages for moderation, and then remove that after things calm down. That depends on the moderator being willing to take on that job (like the graphite rods in a reactor).
