Would you agree that things such as filtering for spam (on lists, IRC,
etc.), and removal of badly behaving people already happen, and these
are not specific to GNOME foundation members?  It should be commonsense
to anyone that bad signal/noise will be punished, when other peers
don't like it.

How does requiring GNOME foundation members to sign this document help?

Nod, but this is a bad analogy. In public places, one must behave
according to the law, but (having not understood that this applies to
only GNOME infrastructure) I didn't want GNOME to make these rules.
