ayo thinks that having a code of conduct will lead to a higher quality of contributor, thus higher quality library.

And if more people join, we'll be able to do X better, faster, etc. etc.

The claim that Code of Conducts lead to higher contributions gets repeated all the time, yet no one has ever shown any supporting evidence AFAIK.
