One of the concerns is licensing; if the text comes via Django, Django credits the "Speak Up!" project, which is CC-BY, apparently from this repository: <https://github.com/jnoller/talk-mentorship>.  Another is... is Twisted really distinct enough to need its own CoC?  Just s/Django/Twisted might be good enough?  (Since this is not a fork, figuring out if anything else has changed is rather tedious, even after having read both ;)).

The Django one is more explicit -- it's rather sad that it needs to be, but it does lay out more directly the unacceptable behaviours.

That being said, it's not an unchangeable document -- if it doesn't suit the community's needs, we can modify it to suit.
