That is not a very collaborative mindset.

Can somebody give an example of when we force-pushed before? Surely there
should be a PEP outlining when we force push and how we communicate this to
our "consumers" before/when we do so?

It partially serves as documentation for the Python project, so mirroring
it and its documentation (in git form or in its presented form) can
definitely have a use, for example, if you are an environment that has no
internet access (common in secret government work, and I am sure their IT
team will be even less pleased that they have to do something by hand and
overwrite history!).
