I have attempted to ascertain the need of a CoC for this community by reading through the mailing list and issues... The more that I read through it, the less I see the need for one. It simply appears as a power play from this individual user, as such is identified by this lengthy blog post which signals some red flags.<p>The previous owner says it all himself pretty clearly:<p>&gt; The current attempts to adopt CoC in various FOSS projects are IMO doomed for similar reasons. It has zero effect on abusers (no abuser thinks of himself as an abuser) and the message it sends to decent folks is: &quot;There&#x27;s an elite in the community that will decide what&#x27;s good and what&#x27;s bad and enforce it by censoring your emails&#x2F;posts&#x2F;contributions.&quot; Which in turn erodes trust within the community and, consequently, its ability to spontaneously deal with abuse.
