So what good does an indefinite ban do in such circumstances? A 24-hour ban to forestall immediate damage is warranted, but an indefinite ban means nothing when the person won't come back anyway. Look at the time-frame of his edits. Someone whose 15 edits are all in a very short period is not likely a long range problem. Someone who has done them at one per week for 15 weeks, despite attempts to contact him is a different matter.

Assuming that those 15 edits aren't outright vandalism/trolling?

So far the proposed community bans haven't been that controversial, but it's going to happen eventually.
Handing out indefinite bans to people who have made 15 edits is controversial.
