In case of a previous issue that caught our attention (or was found during an investigation), we’ll look into it and evaluate any options. This doesn’t mean we’re “digging your grave” for your past mistakes and controversies (see above) unless it’s involving grave misconduct, especially involving current trusted community members (maintainers, moderators) and core team members.
