Who will lead the group? Also is the enforcer's powers limited purely to spurs on IRC and mailing lists; i.e. behaviour issues and/or repetitive patterns still go to devrel for discussion; complaints to Bugzilla, etc? > - - enforcer sets modes +q troll for #foobar Devs (well, ops in the channel) have always had this capability; nothing new. Also address problem of enforcer himself being an ass on IRC/MLs, what happens then; we don't want a "that guy did it and he's reponsible for good behaviour so I can do it too" happening... > Sometimes people need a bigger kick in the ass though, which is where a > short term ban helps.
