Community: Moderation docs for mailing lists

[parispittman]

Contributor Experience is going to take on the moderation of non-sig/wg community mailing lists. This includes k-dev and k-users. We need to write down some basic moderation guidelines for it - the how, who, and what we do. One of two things: 1-new file under /communication for this or 2-combine with slack guidelines for a main moderation doc.

/sig contributor-experience

[tpepper]

I like the idea of a single common moderation document with the intent and philosophy of moderation and then sub-bullets for implementation details specific to doing moderation on a mailing list, slack, or other communication techs.

Something like this perhaps: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moderation-guidelines

Why not moderate the sig/wg lists also?

[parispittman]

We would need to be set to admin on all of those lists. If that's the direction that we should go in, we'll need to get all of the chairs/leads to give us permission and also figure out how to divvy up the work since there are so many lists.

[bgrant0607]

We should do that. It would reduce the bus factor, also.

https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/communication/moderation.md is our first draft for it, is there anything specific we need to add?

[parispittman]

We need to add the mailing list guidelines and specifics on moderation. ie - add us to their mailing lists as owners, lock the thread before banning/removing someone so that no replies come in, etc.

The ownership bits are covered here: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-governance.md#creating-a-mailing-list

I'll work up a PR on closing a thread.
