Thank you. I understand that it is a (luckily) rare situation; that of
course does put a heavy burden on FESco to motivate the decision making
process in this case.
I'm happy to see that the previous thread has been overall very
constructive and to see that FESco is also taking constructive steps.
Again: thank you.

This makes sense; dealing with anonymous reporters is always difficult
for the other party to 'defend' against while the reports should still
be taken seriously and with the care they deserve.

What matters most to me is that the initial e-mail said that probinson
had received warnings and conversations from and with FESco about
previous problems around their provenpackager rights. These warnings and
conversations (or the gist of them) can be shared with pbrobinson's and
FESco's approval and can be shared without harming anonymous reporting.
I'll guess that assembling the list isn't a large amount of work since
you already had it available during FESco's internal discussions but the
work is surrounding preserving anonymity and speaking to pbrobinson.

Perhaps something can be done around provenpackager policies and the new
git forge we'll be using? Something surrounding ACLs, protected
branches, and other new things? :)
Let's have a public discussion about that (separate from this thread!).
