Then trust me. I know a lot of people in those two companies, I am from the 
same background as most of them (KDE community) and I have worked for 
Trolltech, whose values and ethic remain in TQtC.

So trust me when I say they, like my colleagues at Intel right now, are 
expected to behave themselves according to rules very similar, if not 
identical, to those set forth in the CC and KDE CoC.

And here's the cinch: would *you*, Konstantin, feel qualified to contact their 
HR? Do you even know whom to contact? This is where the CoC committee can come 
in, because they have the community standing to contact an HR representative 
or the person's manager to see if they can also be of help. Maybe those two 
are aware of this person going through a rough patch in their lives and could 
advise in other ways to solve the situation.

Note I didn't say "contact to get them fired", but "to see if they can be of 
help". We don't want to lose the contributor, we want to see the situation 
resolved in such a way that we keep both parties.
