I am not following the logic here. OSGeo has a code of conduct, and
requires that all projects use it. It therefore seems contrary to OSGeo
policy to use a different COC. So it would seem that it is only
necessary to note that gdal follows the OSGeo code of conduct and have a
link someplace.
I much prefer the OSGeo COC to the one you have proposed instead. In
particular ("Diversity Statement") talks about being welcoming to all
rather than having a large but finite list of non-discrimination reasons
which notably leaves out political views and being a veteran. While I
strongly support being courteous to everyone, these codes can veer into
a political statement particularly when they include and exclude
particular groups by having a list. I feel that OSGeo's avoids that,
and the Contributor Covenant not as well.
So I don't understand why you are proposing this, and what problem it is
solving, vs the current situation of the OSGeo COC being in effect.
But as usual I could well be missing something.
For now, I'm opposed, and prefer to just add a line in README.md

Conduct](https://www.osgeo.org/resources/osgeo-code-of-conduct/).
