I would add maximum amounts of time everywhere here: For the QA ban
because this effectively still leaves room for "age of the universe"
long bans and a slightly shorter one for the comrel response to ensure
no important ban is missed due to people being on vacations.

Depending on that maximum, council appeal may not be needed because
it'd take longer than the ban length anyway.
