Adding to what everyone said, it was a PR which only involved an RST file
with a blog entry. Even if he did approve it and merged, no harm was done
to any individual or event as a whole. No production broke. No revenue
losses.

Let's say the person did not have info about the correct dates. But wrong
dates and re schedules always follow and it will surely happen this time as
well.

As I heard in Pycon India 2016, A feedback should always be taken as a
feedback.

I would also like to know the guidelines around which the decision to
revoke his access was taken. It would be beneficial for other contributors.
