In law, there is the term of "conduct implying an intent". So even not
signing anything you could argue that by sending a bug or a patch you
silently agree with the community guidelines, CoC, etc. You enter the

guidelines.
It used to be that you could pick a Free Software project and send a patch.
Now sending a patch is supposed to imply agreeing to the equivalent of
an EULA? Everyone is expected to welcome that as progress?
Again "... we as contributors and maintainers pledge ..." is bullshit. I
pledged nothing. More pragmatic and truthful would be:
"The project owners expect everyone who contributes to the project by
any means, or who communicates via any of the means that belong to the
project, to stick to the rules below. Breaking the rules may lead to any
of: a warning, rejection of contributions, a ban where and as far as
possible."
