I think both of you have a very strange understanding of how human
psychology works if you think public callouts are the best first step in
dealing with inappropriate behavior. I also wonder what places you've
worked in and what sorts of management interactions you've had if you
don't believe private conversation can ever address public problems.

However, Debian doesn't have a habit (for all the psychological reasons I
mention above) of creating a public wall of shame to record places where
people have been given a "penalty flag." If you weren't involved in the
issue, you probably didn't hear about it, and IMO that's how it should be.
