Yeah, somebody else made a similar point upthread. I guess we felt that
the proper procedure was obvious given the structure, but maybe not.
I could support adding text to clarify this, perhaps along the line of
In the event of a complaint against a CoC committee member, the
process proceeds normally, but that person is excluded from the
committee's discussions in the matter. Similarly, in the event of
a complaint against a core team member, the process proceeds
normally, but that person is excluded from any core review that
may occur.
and maybe also
In such cases, removal from the committee or core is another
possible sanction, in addition to those mentioned above.
Yeah, while it is pretty much self-evident I would agree that stating it explicitly would benefit the document. Both parts.
On the topic of privacy - who exactly, from an administrative aspect, has access to the systems that house these kinds of confidential communications? Do these emails end up in PostgreSQL.org servers long-term or is it mainly transient distribution and only individual's personal email accounts, with whatever hosting provider they choose, hold the messages long-term?
