Blocking another SageMath developer on GitHub can be a valid response to extreme misconduct, aimed at reducing interactions. However, unless the misconduct results in the blocked person being excluded from the SageMath project, such blocks should be temporary and last only until the conflict is resolved. The SageMath Code of Conduct Committee should work with both parties to lift the block. If the blocked person does not cooperate, the committee may sanction them. If the blocker does not cooperate, the committee may decide that proper discussion on their Pull Requests and Issues is not feasible, and request that the release manager not merge any of their Pull Requests until the block is lifted. We know that this issue is sensitive for several Sage developers [...] A public discussion of this is meaningless as long as the public is unaware of the extent of dysfunction of the CoCC, which refuses to take the necessary steps even in the face of persistent abuse. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
