I'm also +1 to a CoC, although have less of an opinion on what shape it should
take. CoCs are an effective way of making people who may feel like outsiders to
a community feel
more welcome. The Haskell community is amazing and inclusive but not the most
diverse, and projects which are doing better on that front largely all have
CoCs.
In terms of what shape it takes: there are lots of off-the-shelf ones for
different needs: I'd suggest picking one of them.

+1 to a CoC. My sentiments almost exactly mirror Tom's.
In addition, one thing that I really like about the Python community is
that in addition to a CoC, which I see as a means document (i.e. it is by
adhering to the CoC that we create the community that we want), they also
have a diversity statement, which I see as an ends document (i.e. an
aspirational statement about what the community we want should be). I
encourage us to adopt a similar approach. In fact, I imagine that
eventually we would have multiple means of working towards our ends; in
addition to a CoC, we could have, for example, policies to promote respect
and inclusivity in our Summer of Code projects.
Best,
Jack
