Any such CoC or policy should probably apply to all python.org mailing lists, and bolting one after things like -dev/ideas/list have been around for so long is going to be a hard task to get right. I do think something along the lines of a CoC is a good thing here, but I think it's much larger than python-dev and probably shouldn't be implemented as the result of or as a reaction to one person. I think it'd probably be a PSF-level thing to apply to python.org properties (a few discussions have kicked off, but nothing's more than an inch off the ground). I also think the process of creating a CoC that we don't immediately get burned at the stake for could take a long time to create and implement. I don't think we should have to put up with Anatoly while that process gets kicked around. _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
