Without specific requests to the contrary, I copy folks only on bugs
and not on lists but please handle that as you see fit. My mail system
deletes the duplicate automatically.

How can warnings ever be warranted "independently of what could have
caused them"?

With fewer than two disciplinary actions per year, it is not an undue
burden on the membership to ratify punishments at the request of the
accused.

The DAM action should be withdrawn unless the membership affirms it in
a general vote.

It's better for DAM, too. Since the decision is made by the project as
a whole, all accusations of bias are automatically moot. The defeat of
the accused is final. It warrants no further review unless the
evidence was flawed.
