Discussions on sage-devel should not be demotivating for a developper/user but I wonder if the code of conduct is the way to make sure this principle is respected. It feels like the code of conduct is aiming at that (group of) person(s) and the meaning of adopting it goes beyond the text it contains. I feel like we should have that real open discussion instead and postpone the adoption of any code to a future moment when real discussions will be made. I have seen and read hard comments on the past on sage-devel, but since I had the occasion of meeting and discussing with many of the Sage developpers before, I was always able to, how to say, relativize the hardness knowing the people involved. This might be harder to do when we don't know the people involved or when the comment is directed to ourself...
