The CC does not have authority to permanently ban people. See (
https://ffmpeg.org/community.html#Community-Committee-1): "The CC can
remove privileges of offending members, including [..] temporary ban from
the community. [..] Indefinite bans from the community must be confirmed by
the General Assembly, in a majority vote."

Enough of us have access to the ML admin interface to assume this will not
be an issue.
