[Development] QUIP 12: Code of Conduct

But it does require specifying how to lodge a complaint, which specifies conduct, and it then ought to say something about the kinds of complaints that will be resolved by the resolution authority and the kinds of complaints that will not. That also specifies conduct.

That's what we're doing now.

Note that installing a conflict resolution authority doesn't need installing a controversial CoC and formalizing every thing a contributor can or cannot do..
True, there won't be formalized and standadized rules for resolution, but aren't people in this project sensible enough, in general, to have the common sense to reach an adequate solution?

In that case, if a contributor is mistreated by another contributor, what recourse does the victim have?

Well, then let me give you my simple minded opinion on this topic, an engineers opinion:
Do not introduce a CoC.

Resisting to have anything and everything in black and white is hard and is not popular
and surely not zeitgeist but sometimes the better way.

Please do not make me discuss about that as well, I prefer to wrangle with item delegate
code ;)
