I don't think this is a good idea.

the proposed code of conduct (contributor covenant) is extremly open to
interpretation, as it is very subjective where harassment starts, what
personal attacks are, if something is trolling, and i don't even want to
see a discussion if something someone said is sexualized or not.

We are in an environment here, in which people from various cultural
backgrounds and mother tongues. What is understood is not always what was
said (or meant)

And frankly, I can recall more than one occasion where there have been
things that I'd consider personal attacks, including declaring that i
shouldn't be allowed to vote by Anthony, where till today i haven't seen an
apology for.

No seriously, this (to me) seems an attempt to create an instrument that
can be used to discredit and silence others.

I just have to look back on the whole dual-mode vote, where a hand full of
us old-guys stood in conflict with a lot of the newer guys, including
Anthonys "voting irregularities" mail, and i can see how a vote on who
would be in the "response team" would swing, and how the vague code of
conduct would be used afterwards.

best regards,
Peter Petermann
