A developer should probably be disciplined if he or she violates General Rule 2.1.1 of the Constitution[1]: "Nothing in this constitution imposes an obligation on anyone to do work for the Project.

I often find it easier to reason from the specific to the general than the other way around. Is there a particular instance of non-DMUP, non-inactivity misconduct you had in mind? In other words, do you perceive a concrete need for such process now? If not, do you think we are facing an imminent or serious threat of abuse of power on someone's part in the absense of such a process? [1] http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution -- G.
