>empower community managers or other managers to encourage and enforce civil behavior.
I don't disagree that it can be unpleasant, but you can't just change one thing about a community and expect everything else to stay the same. In reality, enforcing community changes will have unintended consequences. As the article freely admits, the best way to get quality contributions is to let the code speak for itself.
If the named code was objectively bad, as the article suggests, then that programmer was doing his community a disservice by submitting it, and he needed his community to correct his behavior.
