On a previous occasion when this question was asked, the pragmatic answer
was the "Weekly posting summary for ietf@xxxxxxxx" which basically named
and (mildly) shamed the most frequent or loudest speakers.
I notice that this summary stopped on 2020-06-12, and it was never sent by
an official IETF tool anyway.
Perhaps it would be good to have it back, officially.
For the rest, please see the Subject header of this message, so I will
shut up now.
