Since you only announced it here so far, this also seems the only proper place to thank you for 27 years of service…and Python of course. :) > So what are you all going to do? Create a democracy?

I believe none of us is an expert in *this* kind of problems so I’m positive it would be beneficial to a) look what others did and process it into a PEP(?), b) possibly even involve someone external who *is* an expert like PyCon US did with their CoC, and most importantly c) never, ever quote works of ESR.
