It's worth pointing out here, although it's not the point the author
makes since there are (mostly) not "employees", that there is a
"quarantine" period at least on sage-devel before messages are allowed
to pass through unmoderated - is that still the case?

Is there any potential for (benign, hopefully, but still) conflict
