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 ;)).

So that CoCs are just a set of rules to ban users expressed in a vague
legal form, so that people can not complain, because they don't
understand. Is that right? =)
