I had the NumFocus meeting today and have two questions for discussion and
eventual answer
1) Regarding the previous Code of Conduct question. I now understand the code
of conduct questions we should answer
1) Will PETSc keep its own C of C or replace it with the NumFocus C of
C?

NumFocus
has an outside group to investigate violations.
2) If PETSc adopts the NumFocus C of C do we decide
a) the outside group makes "recommendations" to the PETSc
governance board if problems come up
b) the outside group also imposes changes if a violation has
occurred (XXX is banned from GitLab issues due to violations)?
It is hard to see much practical difference between a and b, since
no one can forcibly impose changes IMHO.
We should ideally have a PETSc governance board decision by September.
2) We need another "official" (one or more) PETSc contact for NumFocus. In
case I die or am cancer ridden etc. Ideally, they would go to
the annual meeting and meet with NumFocus a couple of times of year etc,
like I do. It is a low-maintenance role unless you want it to be more.
I nominate Jed (as one of them) since he was the instigator of PETSc
joining NumFocus and understands it better than the rest of us.
Volunteers?
