I agree on this. I'd limit this ban to channels where they have caused<br>
problems though (or channels which they've been taking part of), banning<br>
them on each and every #gentoo-* channel is just an unnecessary overhead<br>
imho. And for the given technical restrictions they'd be banned as<br>
suggested, when they are coming back using another IP or another nick<br>
the same rules would apply as for every other user - warning and ban if<br>
they're misbehaving.<br>

It's not really possible without some huge work overhead to fully ban<br>
someone - therefore given limitations as described above would apply.<br>
Everything else is not doable from my pov.<br>

We wouldn't have to go through the same process over and over again: if somebody was retired and keeps doing the same things as when was a developer, then people in charge of channels or mailing lists might take instant action as they find it necessary. If they get a new attitude after retired, I'm sure that the people in charge will not take the extra work to ban them for nothing.<br>
