If we only ban him from the tracker, I'm afraid he'll start making

I would not be surprised if he did exactly that, which is why I (and a
couple of other people) are suggesting something less than a ban.
Perhaps a temporary ban? There does need to be a signal sent to him.

He stopped reopening other issues before, but then there was this new

stand now.
I think an appropriate first signal would be to make it so he cannot
change headers.
I wasn't thinking only about the bug tracker, but also the MLs.
Right, you are worried about retaliation on the MLs if he were *banned*
from the tracker.
My belief and point is that removing header editing privileges
(permanently, by the way) is
* a minimal action that we should be able to mostly agree on;
* not something that most people would consider to be a 'right';
* an *action*, not a *warning* (of which there have been many), which
would demonstrate that we *are* collectively capable of action (which at
some level I suspect he doubts), and which would make the possibility of
more severe action more credible;
* not a 'ban', which is a more contentious action;
* not something that would preclude more severe action.
