Not that I believe the fierceness of the assertion however.
The CoC's writer's blogpost https://where.coraline.codes/blog/my-year-at-github/ https://where.coraline.codes/blog/my-year-at-github/ certainly proves she has issues with the term "meritocracy"
> At first I had my doubts. I was well aware of GitHub's very problematic past, from its promotion of meritocracy in place of a management system
And most articles I have read detail the idea that "meritocracy" is inherently biased because it is men deciding the merit (since male dominated) https://readwrite.com/2014/01/24/github-meritocracy-rug/ https://readwrite.com/2014/01/24/github-meritocracy-rug/
She wrote a COC and various projects have adopted it to a lesser and greater extent and with varying levels of controversy
