That's one opinion, but it's not what GRs can currently do. If that
bothers anyone enough, amend the constitution instead of noisily
refusing to support every GR that does stuff that GRs aren't "meant"
to do.

Cool. This proposal doesn't do that. It apolgises for not resolving

who has attempted, whether publicly-visible or not!

I think it's very difficult to issue good practical guidelines, as it
depends on humanity and too many variables. What is acceptable on
debian-esperanto may be too offensive on debian-i18n, for example.
