Arguing about what is useful and what isn’t is probably not worth the effort here. * Communication and education is probably the best solution here. For repeated offenders, off-list email could be fine to make sure the communication is clear. Communicating this in the new [contributor portal](http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-September/122534.html) and Upstream Institute would be helpful. * [Thread](http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-September/thread.html#122472) -- Mike Perez
