$ git revert c1d1ba844f01 # ("Code of conduct: Fix wording around maintainers enforcing the code of conduct")

This seems to have regressed. Let's revert.

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

git.kernel.orgCode of conduct: Fix wording around maintainers enforcing the code of conduct - kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git - Linux kernel source tree

@jani

"Removing it doesn't limit our ability to enforce the code of conduct,
and we can still encourage maintainers to help maintain high standards
for the level of discourse in their subsystem."

was naive at best, malicious at worst back then, and still is

@sima I think it was a poor compromise to get a bunch of cantankerous maintainers on board with the CoC.

@jani I'm still not sure it was even tactically useful as a protection of the fd.o coc

having a coc, but hamstringing its enforcement in ways that are not obvious to outsiders can be much worse than not having a coc
