Thanks for the clarification about the scope — even though this is not
what I was led to believe the *many* times I raised this issue with
the board. Well, clearly my fault.

This raises the question of who is going to review the currently
insufficient-bordering-on-useless code of conduct that we have for
GNOME online services and, more generally, for the community?

I want to have something like the freedesktop.org code of conduct[0]
apply to all the services we have in GNOME — mailing list, IRC, Git
repositories, and issue tracking. Since two of those services are now
being coalesced into a single platform, I think we should be
exceedingly clear about what we support and, especially, what we don't
condone.

The "Bill & Ted" code of conduct we currently have is woefully
inadequate to the modern realities of what the Internet is.

Ciao,
