I believe I am one of the original founding list admins, after 20-odd years. Sadly, the other, John Pinner, has passed away. I therefore decree, as self-appointed "Benevolent Dictator for List", that the Python CoC established by Steve Holden IS the official Code of Conduct, and must be respected

It would actually be quite a good Mailman feature to be able to put a user "on watch" for N days, and prepend a first line to their messages henceforth saying "The Inquisition is watching this user. They need to mind their manners". The 10 minute sin-bin works better in sports than red cards.

What kind of tasks do you want them to be able to perform? On what OS? Will they interact with version control? As we all know, Python tends to "get out of the way", but learning IDEs and coding habits takes a while, and learning libraries and frameworks takes a lifetime.It's very different
