And on this point: yes, but not the code decision-making structure. I agree 
that we can meritocratically select the CoC Board/Panel/Committee, but the 
merit qualifications necessarily imply it's a separate structure.

Lars is our Chief Maintainer, which means he's good at coding and knows Qt 
inside and out. That does not follow he's good at resolving CoC violations or 
that he has the time for it. (He probably is good, since he's also been a 
perople manager for 15+ years [was my manager even!], but that's not a logical 
conclusion from the original statements)

A better example is me: I am maintainer for QtCore, but I am not qualified to 
judge and address CoC violations.
