 Yeah, I saw that post too, but can you point me to the "mailing list
 policy" ? AFAIK we just have a code of conduct.

 So, IMHO, banning him now without any specific precipitating event seems
 like a poor precident.

 I'm of course happy to do whatever the council decides if they decide to
 do something here, but failing that, could I ask folks to keep an eye out
 for posts that you feel are not following our code of conduct and mail
 devel-owner at lists.fedoraproject.org soon after you see them, and if those
 merit removal from the list they can be done then and not months later.
