I'm (obviously) not a dev but contribute some from time to time. Not much more can be said than has already been stated, but since (I believe) this thread started out asking for input, I just wanted to toss in a negative vote. Essentially I don't see it solving any problem and stepping on the toes

From an outsiders point of view, this looks really, really ridiculous. I personally feel that if something like this is even needed (which I don't believe), then it shouldn't be phrased as a Code of Conduct which implies strict compliance thereof. That's the gist of what I wanted to toss in,
