I _think_ there have been instances of someone being banned for a week or a
month - I think indefinite bans were called out as being inappropriate in
one case. I'd have to defer to those with more patience to dig through
Debian mailing list archives.
I do remember one instance - a very long time ago - where someone was
banned after two posts or thereabouts - a Finnish neo-Nazi, I think,
who abused the lists with political ranting.
Listmasters' discretion is always the final arbiter.
