Hi Danny,
I don't deny the recommedation that the PMC should be notified of situations such as this although I don't know why the PMC list is private.
it's private so that the pmc has a confidential forum for discussions. (general is the right forum for pmc discussions that are not confidential.) in this case, howard's a pmc member so he has karma and can participate. the pmc can grant subscription karma for non-members if they need arises to talk to someone (who isn't a pmc member) confidentially.
we've probably gone too far in the direction of making everything private. (that's why general has probably been far too quite recently...) but in this case, it seems entirely proper for the discussions with howard to take place in confidence on the pmc list.
But it seems like all this confusion is due to the lack of proper protocols defined in a public place that people can follow, or have I not looked around well enough. May be this is the first such situation and something may spring out of here, I don't know.
you're probably right that this sort of stuff isn't very well documented. we probably need to find time to put some pages up.
