Emails to this list are permitted so long as they are on topic, and meet
the community code of conduct.

Asking politely to stay on topic is appropriate.

Telling the community what it should or should not do or what is permitted
to be discussed is not appropriate.  You and Andrew are not the arbiters of
speech on the GCC, Binutils, GLIBC, and GDB mailing lists.  Please stop.
This intimidation and silencing tactic is not appropriate.
