Meta issue: How/where should complaints about working-group members be lodged? #19730

Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

The Code of Conduct (understandably) only broadly defines unacceptable behaviors; e.g., "Disruptive behavior".

It also states:

We encourage all communities to resolve issues on their own whenever possible.

In that vein:

The responsibilities of working groups are laid out here and here.

Resolving complaints in the context of PowerShell's working groups seems like something that should be handled on a community (repository) level, yet the linked documents do not define a process for that - all there is are DOs and DON'Ts, and the following admonishment:

It's worth noting that Working Group members who repeatedly speak on behalf of the Working Group without consensus, they may be censured or removed from the team.

Therefore:

  • If a community member perceives inappropriate behavior on the part of a working-group member, how can a complaint be lodged?
    • Raise a separate issue here?
    • @-mention a specific user designated as an arbiter / point of first contact in the context of the issue at hand?
    • Send an email to a yet-to-be-announced working-group/community-specific email address?

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
