I think that this is good - though I'd like to see some provisions for 
tracking this (publically).

As, for example, a new Op may come in and be targeted by a long term 
user.  If there is no public record (other than in the publically logged 
channel - which may or may not be easy to google for) then there is no 
real trace of this.  A decision to mass/perma ban someone should be made 
and publically announced, IMO, along with reasoning.

I think however, that the above can be done by s/may/will/ in the sentence

    Ubuntu IRC operators may be notified via a mail to the Ubuntu IRC
    mailing list.
