FWIW, Eric Smith and myself (co-"owners" of the mailing list) supported this when Brett asked. I hope, Steven, you're by now convinced that this wasn't a cloak-and-dagger operation (really, for volunteer work there is no such thing as "business hours"). Neither is it a unique thing for a python.org mailing list. This is especially important: what is so different about python-ideas that it needs the CoC, while -committers doesn't? Much better to be consistent and to have the same standards applied to every list (eventually). cheers, Georg _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
