Thank you Albert - I like the idea of only addressing list behavior
against the code of conduct to people off list, in private emails. We'd
probably need to nominate a couple of people to keep an eye on list
behavior (including mine) and write those emails.

A code of conduct for Codec2/FreeDV and this mailing list is a good
idea. The participant policies document is a good start, but has a
strong focus on gender issues and face-face behiavour. We could
probably get away with something shorter and more concise.
The typical code of conduct, with that gender focus you noticed, often
gets abused as a weapon by people looking for drama and wanting to
be a hero or center of attention. Think of it as being like one of those
laws passed with the proponents claiming "oh, it'd never be used to do
those terrible things" and then later the terrible things are the main use.
Projects get mired in legalistic nitpicking over the rules, sometimes with
non-contributing people able to toss key contributors out of projects.
A better way: put up a warning somewhere about the obscure ITAR rules
that people might not be aware of, and leave all the rest to be dealt with
by private scolding along the lines of "hey, you're disrupting the project,
both of you, so take it someplace else" if anything serious ever happens.
