FOSS Codes of Conduct aside from obvious basics like "be polite" and such, is just a way for people who thrive on office-politics style backstabbing to get their way - in the process diverting a project from its technical goals. It's the corporate cancer now imposed upon FOSS.
Contributing to any such project is not worth it anymore. Someone like Tim has devoted decades of his life working for Python.
What modern FOSS projects need is a reverse Code of Conduct, explicitly telling the kind of people who hijack the project discussion and try to play these games to fuck off and that they're not welcome, and that the focus is the tech.
