I think it's totally appropriate. Some of us participants in the great Wikipedia experiment rely on it to know what's going on -- I for one can't devote all my time and energy to Wikipedia all the time.

You may file a request for arbitration if you wish regarding this matter, as may PrivateMusings with respect to his ban.
I appreciate the offer, but I actually think this will be clear-cut enough that it won't come to having to get Arbcom involved. PM will probably be unblocked as soon as enough eyeballs focus on the issue.
Dealing with Guy's behavior may one day have to go all the way to Arbcom someday, but let's hope not. Hopefully in the light of day, he'll realize his errors. IF not, hopefully the community can convince him that this was an abuse. And if that still doesn't convince him, only then would I even consider involving an already-overloaded Arbcom.
Whether or not this dispute is ripe for arbitration, this mailing list is not an appropriate venue. You should speak to JzG about your concerns, and after that, the administrators' noticeboard is generally a good place to discuss blocks.
