Right, there is clearly a need for mediation here. I read one of the 
forum discussions that led to Alain's ban, and there is indeed evidence 
of some verbal abuse and unfortunate postings, evidence of someone 
having a bad linux day. While this is hardly an excuse, the month ban 
seems harsh. Alain feels he has been cut off from his main source of 
packaging technical help. Maybe we should create a fedora-devel-fr 
mailing list ?

I don't know what happened about the IRC channels ban. Hopefully Johan 
can post the logs and explain.
