I am sad that you feels that the GKCG is not sufficient for defining the acceptable behavior of the members of a Free Software community. >> Adopting the GKCG instead of a CoC would help attracting people (like >> me) who agree to use a welcoming and respectful language which >> encourages everyone to contribute but are reluctant in contributing to >> any project following a CoC due to its punitive nature and the politics >> of its authors [2][3]. > > Codes of conduct codify acceptable behavior and formalize processes: > what can I do as a contributor if I’m a victim bad behavior or > harassment?

Yes it does perfectly. I personnaly think dealing with such issues in an ad hoc fashion is the right approach when acceptable behaviors are the norm, which IME has been the case.
