[python-committers] Anatoly has been warned about his behaviour potentially leading to his loss of tracker privileges

[Guido van Rossum]

Here's another idea. Ban him temporarily from the tracker and the lists(*)
and tell him that to be unbanned he has to talk to me, and to me only. I
will then negotiate a cool-off period and posting guidelines with him. If
he violate those he will automatically be banned permanently (or at least
for a year).

(*) Which lists? I'd say python-dev and python-idea -- are there any other
lists where he hangs out? Or perhaps all lists on mail python.org just so
he won't take his complaints to other lists.
