What I am curious about, is whether there are also efforts ongoing that

Your idea for using aggression/harassment scores in admin applications is really interesting; I hadn't thought of that before. Nothing's actually planned right now, just research and conversations, but it's neat to see people already coming up with interesting suggestions. :)
I'm delighted to see this issue getting some attention. I believe the core of the problem comes from the WMF's identity, from the start, as a technology company; so shifting in this direction might be an uphill battle, but I feel strongly that it's the right way to go.
Be careful there, we're agreeing! :D
Joke aside, I'm not sure it is an uphill battle, but that is a shift I believe we, not just WMF but all of us as a community, need to do. From mere "tool" to a movement. Which means that the tech and the platform are a way to enable us to achieve our goals. But our goals aren't technical, they're societal. We're a people movement not a tech movement :)
