Please replace ComRel above with "the Gentoo body responsible for CoC
enforcement". In the past this were the Proctors and Andreas has been
trying to revive them.

Matthew, the CoC is about Gentoo public communication mediums and so the
penalties involve the ability to use the Mailing Lists and Bugzilla. The
CoC doesn't prevent the ability to mail developers or alias directly.
ComRel and Proctors never did that nor could they do it in the future.

To be clear, if someone abuses our infrastructure to a sufficient level,
the infrastructure team could block them at the SMTP level, thus
preventing them to send any mail to *gentoo.org.
