I'm not sure it is needed.  He has posted that he doesn't know what he
would be appealing.  Or is it like the other replies where everything
has to go through a lawyer and be written in a way that there is
absolutely no doubt before one can just read what he posted and figure
it out?  If he knows, why would he be asking?

Based on what I have seen in the past few days, in this thread and in
links posted in this thread, I'd say it is because he isn't getting
responses from ComRel and he doesn't know what it is that he would be
appealing.  It would also seem that the people that he is working with
to become a developer again don't know either.  If I was a recruiter, I
wouldn't spend time working with someone who is banned from ever
rejoining Gentoo.  It's not like Gentoo has a overabundance of people
with to much time on their hands or anything.  If I were banned from
Gentoo, I wouldn't waste my time trying to rejoin either.  Odds are, I
also would rejoin even if asked.  I'd spend my time elsewhere doing
something else.

So, it is publicly stated that William can't return to Gentoo on a bug? 
I don't recall seeing that linked to in this thread.  Based on William's
posts, I'm not sure he is aware of it either.
