[gentoo-project] Temporary DevRel actions for CoC violations

Hi,

It is unfortunate to observe constant bullying, insults and trolling
across our public media. Developers have been warned over and over that
such behaviour is not acceptable and they should try to behave
properly. However, people have ignored such warnings for a very long
time. This ends today.

The DevRel policy states that:
"If the issue is deemed critical, the developer in question may have
his or her access suspended while a vote takes place. In such
situations, the Developer Relations lead may act without a vote of the
remaining Developer Relations team; this power is granted by Council.
Except in critical situations where immediate action is required, such
disciplinary action is determined by members of the Developer Relations
project."[1]

For me, this problem is critical. Devrel is working on formalizing a new
policy, and we will announce news on this soon. In the meantime, to
prevent further escalations,  I will use my lead powers to request
immediate bans whenever I see one of you violate the CoC[2] and ignore
the previous warnings.

My fellow developers, it's time you finally realize that
you are part of a community and you must learn to behave
and respect each other even if you have different technical views.
We are all people sharing a common interest: Gentoo.
