Yes, but remember (as I have been reminded recently) that the sergeant-at-arms is responsible for the IETF list and not any WG or non-WG lists. Maybe we should change that, or at least have a standard/canned note about good and acceptable practices that can be sent out easily on the authority of the responsible person for a list or someone else, but that is a separate discussion (which I'd encourage the IESG to have at their convenience).
Seems reasonable. In this case the guy or thing seems to have stopped, but we seem to have a newish pattern of a few disruptive messages sent to a lot of lists. In the commercial world we call this snowshoe spam, spread lightly enough that no individual gets enough to act on it but in the aggregate quite annoying.
