You're right that there's this case too, and I'm sure there's more. I do think that officially endorsing the CoC (ideally via some kind of referendum) would be nice as an overall statement of "this is what we believe", for the reasons Lucas gave. But on the enforcement side, I guess what I'd like is for this feedback mechanism to be on a more human scale. In the end, maintaining a project is as much a social task as a technical one. Maintainers are there because they merit it; they are the heart of GNOME, much more so than the board. Their views don't need procedures to enforce themselves. I'm not sure what incidents are being discussed specifically here, but if they are about the planet, I don't think the maintainers need to exercise board power.
