I would say that "Codes of Conduct" _are_ a crisis, and exacerbated toxicity... as you put it, "endless drama". As for involving government in FOSS - many of the universities and institutions where software was written, shared and exchanged in the 1960s and 1970s were "government" or government-funded. DARPA is government, UC Berkeley is a state university, etc. So government was very much involved. Otherwise, I agree that the article does not establish a crisis.
