CoC enforcement as a paid service sounds alarming. Though it might make sense to consider people separate from the development team for the role. There are likely many who would like to contribute to the FFmpeg project but not as a developer who could consider such a role. > If such solution is not viable, we could fallback on the voting committee > to elect/design a subgroup of itself (an odd number like 3 persons maybe?) > to hold this moderation task for a period of 3 or 6 months, maybe 1 year. > Then these members are automatically maintainer of the CoC for this period > of time, and decide what to do with it. > > Just random thoughts, no hard opinion on it to be honest. I like this suggestion for a small committee to be tasked and trusted with such actions. I consider that it might be easier to find rough consensus in scenario a than in scenario b. a) the larger ffmpeg community finds consensus to appoint a CoC committee and as needed the CoC committee finds consensus (as a small group) on how to respond to concerns from the community and to implement the CoC. b) the larger ffmpeg community finds consensus on how to implement the CoC directly each time there’s a concern from the community.
