By my count, Matt has sent over twenty announcements about it to this list
(and quite a few others) over the course of the last thirteen months.
The specific section you have commented on has been announced on July 26:

and then again on August 24:

See also the earlier discussion about where announcements should be made:

I don't think "closed" is a reasonable word to use there. Participation is
mainly from a small, self-selected group of people who chose to care. Most
discussions work like that. Compare the number of people who were involved
in defining Commons copyright policy to the number of people who upload
images, or the number of people who where involved in the discussion of the
(then) new Wikimedia-wide terms of content to the number of people who use
the site...

According to the current draft, there is an amendment process every three
months where details of the code of conduct can be rediscussed; I would
recommend aiming for that.

(Also, in my personal opinion, your comment might have been received more
kindly if it contained anything substantive, but it was just +1 to an
IDONTLIKEIT <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:I_just_don%27t_like_it>
comment.
Those tend not to be helpful in a consensus-building process.)
