This reminds me of the problems the PHP project faces. It has the same lack of leadership and just goes by consensus, with the same problems (i.e. little gets done when hard decisions must be made; the system for voting on things has helped a little, though, because it means people who are bold can sometimes get things in). There was also an attempt to adopt a code of conduct and, in its failure, it exposed why the project could benefit from one in the first place.
I suspect a lot of open-source projects have similar issues.

What was interesting about the response was how specific individuals did not respond civilly (personal attacks, framing it as a political conspiracy, etc.), thus demonstrating why a code of conduct might be useful. The original proposal was this: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/adopt-code-of-conduct?rev=1451940622 https://wiki.php.net/rfc/adopt-code-of-conduct?rev=145194062...
