I've a little bit of experience here, with Sven Luther whom I
understand was banned (temporarily) from Debian.  One of only a very
few people to whom this has happened.  We worked with him on
debian-ocaml-maint, and he was eventually readmitted.  Actually I had
no issues with Sven and his contributions to OCaml were always good.

It was never a problem that the ban couldn't be enforced.  Of course
he might have gone and created some elaborate alternate identity.  But
it would have been pretty suspicious if "Len Sutter" had turned up the
next day offering contributions to OCaml and Debian PPC.  (In reality,
he just kept working on the project).
