Documentation: Add section on how the project responds to legal threats
Threatening or initiating legal action against the maintainers of our
infrastructure or projects (all projects hosted on our infrastructure)
is a huge stressor to those maintainers.
To underline that severity, such threats or action will lead to an
immediate ban from our infrastructure as agreed on the leadership
meeting of 2023-05-31.
There may be legitimate legal action to take in certain cases, and
it's always possible to unban people, but given the severity provide
warning that we'll opt for a "ban first, sort out later" approach.
