I’ve enjoyed https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3/blob/master/docs/conduct.md https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3/blob/master/docs/... as a code of conduct. Simple, well-motivated, well-practiced (I think). Unlike more convoluted CoCs, it’s tightly scoped on work, not fun. Specific labor intended to produce contributions instead of enjoyable social experiences. I feel a lot more OSS should avoid fun. Fun doesn’t seem to scale, especially when it gets in the way of real work.

What concerns me about that CoC is that the last point ("Attention to personal traits...") sounds like it could easily be interpreted to disallow members of minority groups from self-identifying.
