The whole Python industrial complex (PSF, PyCon, python-dev) has always been extremely hierarchical. CoCs were introduced to protect the old boys and advance their careers at FAANG.

I have never seen those directors do anything useful like writing software.
The whole Python ecosystem is a swamp full of parasites who need a rule set to oppress the productive part of the population and justify their existence.
