There's a lot that wasn't quoted:
Examples are Core voting, announcements, etc.

This list is not intended as a place for code reviews or a replacement
for the FreeBSD architecture and design mailing list or the FreeBSD
source code audit mailing list. In fact using it as such hurts the
FreeBSD Project as it gives a sense of a closed list where general
decisions affecting all of the FreeBSD using community are made
without being "open".

And that last one clearly states that what was accussed should not
happen...
