He does, and he is already trying to improve.  We already discussed
about the issue  and how to solve it in our previous conversation (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2012-December/002307.html),
so informing him about the probation only served to let him know the
specific punishment(s) he might face.

I'm doing this via chat (I think it's better/more effective than
emails), so sidetracking is not so unexpected (we even ended up
discussing things that are completely unrelated after we clarified the
important points).  The discussion about the CLA started because he
said that some of the "accusations" in the thread are not true -- in
particular that "He flat-out refuses to sign any contributor
agreement".  I asked him why he hasn't signed it and if there was any
problem with the contributor agreement, and so he replied.
