I wonder if we need a GPL v4 that revokes itself if the end user violates other people’s human rights. That way, this sort of situation would result in the revocation of the python license, instead of the grant proposal.

Python doesn't use the GPL, and such a license wouldn't meet the FSF Four Freedoms, nor the OSI Open Source Definition, so it would likely lead to a fork, less usage and less redistribution.
