Anthony, As someone who's been on the receiving end of countless personal attacks in the context of STH, marginalized and harassed - I still find the operative part of the RFC quite questionable (even though as I said, a lot less so than the original draft - mainly because the much reduced power of the team). Ultimately, I think that just having guidelines would be a lot better than trying to model any sort of committee and bylaws regarding what can or cannot be done. In addition, I've been on the receiving end of numerous false accusations - including very recently - which, with the wrong people in power - might have resulted in extreme outcomes. Last, I'm truly surprised by the four direct threats of violence you've been exposed to in the context of STH. I, personally, was presented by many community members as the equivalent of the Enemy of the State, ridiculed, crowned as a member of the 'Old Guard' and many other personal attacks, but I'm still not aware of any threats of violence against me (in the context of PHP, at least). Could there be a definition gap here? I would find a true threat of violence as something that is *completely* unacceptable; But I want to make sure we're all perceiving 'threats of violence' in the same way, more or less. If there's a definition gap, we should iron it out now. I think we're better off dividing this RFC into two separate RFCs: 1. Adopting a CoC 2. Adopting a response team/bylaws/mechanism on that CoC (assuming #1 gets accepted). Personally, I will almost definitely vote in favor of #1 (provided it's a reasonable CoC which I think shouldn't be an issue), but I'll most likely vote against #2. #2 is where the controversy is, and I think it would be a shame not to get the part that's mostly in consensus accepted independently of it.
