The one thing I'm wondering here is why we have our own CoC.

Why isn't this repository either (A) just a simple text file saying "we have adopted the Django CoC" or (B) a very small fork of something else? One of the concerns is licensing; if the text comes via Django, Django credits the "Speak Up!" project, which is CC-BY, apparently from this repository: <https://github.com/jnoller/talk-mentorship>. Another is... is Twisted really distinct enough to need its own CoC? Just s/Django/Twisted might be good enough? (Since this is not a fork, figuring out if anything else has changed is rather tedious, even after having read both ;)). Thanks again, -glyph
