Ever since Linux Foundation started pushing the COC gags into ASF
projects I kept wondering if people won't behave in civil manner - just
like Paul has alluded to - unless they are explicitly told how to be
good boys and girls?
Let me ask a perhaps naive but a very honest question: why do we really
need a COC? The ASF has some sort of it in the books already, why do we
need a separate one?
Is it because Microsoft's github requires a checkmark due to their
virtue signaling being blown out of proportions? Or is it something else
that I am missing?
If you prefer a private reply - be my guest. I really want to know.
Thank you!

With regards,

Hi everyone,
We have been fortunate that most of the time, the discussions within
our community are very respectful, so I don't think we need to have an
elaborate discussion about a project-specific code of conduct. It seems
worthwhile though, pointing to the general code of conduct established
by the ASF[1] which I propose to do:
https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/1422

Let me know if you see any possible improvements/issues.
Thanks, Paul.
