Having an anti-harassment policy for Debian Sprints, with a contact address
for harassment reports (which, I hope, no-one ever has to use!) sounds like
an excellent idea.
The only problem I see with "antiharassm...@women.d.o" is that if a person
faces harassment from someone involved in a Debian Sprint, then unless the
harassment is of a specifically misogynistic form, it may be inappropriate
to have the @women part in there. E.g. if the harassment is racial, or
ageist, or whatever.
If this possibility has already been discussed and adequately handled,
please ignore my interjection :)
