Actually the DMUP was created in response to an expulsion from the
project. IIRC it was primarily motivated by concern that DSA was acting
arbitarily. Every disciplinary action DSA has ever done has had some basis
in one of the DMUP guidelines.

Oh really? Some of the ones you listed are pretty serious. If you know of
people doing any of those things without permission you should probably
mention it to debian-admin@d.o.
You might be mistaking people having permission (implicit or specific) for
DSA ignoring the guidelines in the DMUP willy nilly.

I recall only ever finding two violations of the above, and I assure you I
had their accounts locked within the hour, and they were ultimately
expelled from the project.
