You cant successfully ban an individual from our mailing lists since 
there are relevantly easy ways to circumvent that and I would think that 
it was already within the power of the relevant list admins to do if 
they think individuals cross the line.

Seriously we should not be wasting everyones time if that's the case, 
they should just go ahead and ban. Doing so is no different then an 
three strike ( the list admins telling individuals they are crossing the 
line ) kick on IRC followed by BANNED and it really should not require 
involvement of the board/cwg no more then it's not required for irc 
channels.

If not it defeats the purpose of having list admins in the first place 
and us ( the community ) placing trust in them ( list admins ) taking 
appropriate actions when it becomes necessary...

If we are not talking about permanently ban an individual from the 
project the list admins should just go ahead and block/ban him.
