I am not trying to create any solution and not my decision if this is
really needed for r-project. It was just a naive suggestion, c.f,

I am not an official representative of the R team, so this is only my
opinion.

It seems to me that you are trying to create a solution to a problem
which does not exist.

All the R mailing lists have posting guides.  The mailing list
community is largely self-policing to unwelcome behavior and corrects
it quickly.

In over 15 years as an active part of this community, it has always
appeared to me that the community as a whole already conducts itself in
a spirit of professionalism and cooperation.

So I don't see the point in asking already overworked volunteers to
take on and police more formal policies that really seem unnecessary.

Regards,

Brian
