Yes, there is the KDE Community Working Group, which is the body tasked with 
(among other things) dealing with CoC violations, and the regulation for that 
is indeed not in the CoC itself but the working group charter. I'd need to re-
read the wording but from how this works in practice it's not all that 
different from what is proposed here I think. If there is no suitable body yet 
to deal with violations, it obviously will need to be created alongside the 
actual CoC.
