Hi, ASF has an official Code of Conduct[1]. It is my understanding that each community can decide to adopt the CoC to its own project (or to create its own variation).
The CoC doesn't have an official escalation policy - ie what happens if/when someone break the policy. In my opinion it is a weakness since the handling may be a bit arbitrary from time to time, but I think we should leave that until the ASF has a clear framework which we can tie into. I'm proposing that Subversion adopt the ASF official CoC and link to it on our website. To implement this, I propose a new section in HACKING, probably under the General Overview document. I don't see that it will be any change in practice - we should already live by the standards in the CoC for example "Be empathetic, welcoming, friendly, and patient".
