This poses another problem. Who is responsible for putting in place such a ban, and what would be the criterias for putting it in place ? Your above condition, 2 different DDs, seems really slow to me, if you want to put a bottom limit, i would maybe chose the quorum of debian votes or something such meaningful. Furthermore, I believe that any person who is actually willing to participate in a debian-mediation mailing lists, will probably be able to configure procmail or another filtering software to avoir reading unwanted posts, or simply ignore them in their mail reader. That said, this brings another proposal. I believe that for the sake of transparency, we should set up a debian-censorship, where all banned or censored mails would automatically go, for all to see, instead of just being put into oblivion, so our fellow DD can check from time to time what they are stopped from reading, and maybe intervene in case of abuse of power of the list-masters, or whoever currently takes the decision to censor someone. I think also that the list of such censorship should be made publicly available, so all debian developers can see them, and judge if authority who handle this have indeed done so within the mandate given them by the whole Debian Developper body.
