I did read it, and I found it unfortunate. The reason to remove GamerGate was because of spam(!). And the wording did not help that much either: "The worst thing is that there seems to be systematic harassment of people (especially women) by this campaign. If so this is terrible and something that we absolutely condone." They absolute "condone" harassment? I think the right word was "condemn". But not clarification either.
On the other hand: we're self-hosting our own GitLab instance, so we get to be as inclusive as we can, without necessarily depending on some other project to make the rules.
It may backlash GNOME either way, unfortunately. -- Germán Poo-Caamaño http://calcifer.org/
