 If you think we banned your IP address by mistake, or if you have been banned but have an explanation why we should bend the rules for your specific case (for instance, if you have a NAT IP address that a lot of people use), contact us at `[email protected]` or through the "asfinfra" <a href="https://the-asf.slack.com/" target="_blank">Slack channel</a>. We will consider leniency and allow-listing on a case-by-case basis.
