Reviewing, I may have misinterpreted the message from PSF Executive Director 
regarding the situation.

It does appear that python-ideas moderators contacted postmaster@. Appears I 
misread a message saying “it looks like it’s happening on python-dev too” to 
mean that the request was for both lists.

Should I disable moderation on python-dev?

I do at least 99% of python-dev moderation actions, and this was news  
to me. I'm not going to reject anything Python-related based on  
whether I (or anyone else) agree(s) with its political spin. If  
that's what's wanted, please contact whichever python-dev moderator(s)  
did request this, and tell them the job of actually doing python-dev  
moderation is all theirs until this passes. Otherwise anything  
Python-related short of pure abuse will be approved.  

Seriously. I'm not going to reject sincere "you're a racist!" posts or  
"I know you are, but what am I?" posts. But I don't even know whether  
that's what this is about - all I've seen is some moderately heated  
discussion, none of which I would have rejected.
