Given that the whole discussion seems to have been purposed entirely
to calculate a way for certain GCC contributors to virtue signal
their disapproval to the founder of the project's (debunked) bad
behaviors, perhaps that would have been a good thing.

Unfortunately, I think ESR's suggestion was merely that people
shouldn't be banned for off-list behavior or politics (which also
would have prevented RMS from being removed from the SC).

Perhaps the best lesson to take is that allowing a mailing list
which is supposed to be for technical discussion to be turned into
a space for virtue signalling and political gatekeeping isn't ideal.
