And discussion of this could occur on the list, as well. I said "for such patches", not "for such discussion". And, incidentally, this particular issues has now been addressed upstream. I proposed a change to the FAQ, which has now been merged. See https://www.contributor-covenant.org/faq and https://github.com/ContributorCovenant/contributor_covenant/pull/612 .
