This isn't about not wanting that file in (which is a discussion that should happen) -- this is about what you, yourself, said, about how interactions are working in your repo. That's where people decide whether they want to work in your repo or not. They hear about the expectations in that space,

Do we have a Terms of Service for Gerrit (or any other technical spaces)? If not, perhaps we should add one? If so, perhaps we should add the code of conduct to the terms of using the service? Examples: https://www.drupal.org/git-repository-usage-policy

Here's my 2 cents. License is one example for me, if you are using gerrit and all of WMF infrastructure (from jenkins to translatewiki integration) you have to publish your code with at least one OSI-approved license. You can't say "All rights reserved" and still use all the benefits that came

I think there's a lot of misunderstanding on this whole thing. The issue pointed out was that the CoC makes a false feeling of protection by being in extensions that are developed outside WMF's technical spaces. That is if I had an issue with an extension's maintainer WMF would refuse to help as

Taking a step back here... I agree with you in principle...but Shared spaces imply that occasionally disputes are going to arise as to what belongs in a repo. If we dont have a fair method of resolving such disputes (/my way or the highway/ is not fair), then this model is not going to work. --

And that's fine and good and should continue, but doesn't mean it's a shared ownership model. As I was saying before with the analogy, global users make uncontroversial edits using their rights but aren't supposed to use their global rights to involve themselves in controversies. On 9 June 2018
