I like this. I like this a lot.
I've never been a fan of the way the Contributors Code of Conduct does explicitly allow for people to have opinions of their own outside the projects so long as they don't try to represent those opinions as being a representative of the project.
If it had, and offered remedies, the guy in the Opal situation could have just removed Opal from his Twitter profile, instead of being asked to leave the project.

Transforming open source into a more welcoming place for marginalized communities is the main goal of all my work, from the Contributor Covenant to Ethical Source. But thank you for making your opinion known. I can now confidently recommend to conference organizers that you be banned in advance from any conference I plan on attending."
