+1 initial motion

Aside: The only "creativity" the boilerplate asks is how we "enforce":

*Before adopting the Contributor Covenant take the time to discuss and
decide how to deal with problems as they emerge. Document the policy and
procedure for enforcement, and add it to your README or in another visible,
appropriate place. Consider if your project team has the willingness and
maturity to follow through on your enforcement procedures.*


One advantage of being an OSGeo project is our answer is easy, say by
adding something like to our README.

As part of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation commitment to projects
being open an inclusive GeoTools has adopted the contributor convent,
coordinating enforcement with OSGeo code-of-conduct committee.


Or shorter:

GeoTools has adopted the contributor covenant for community conduct.
Enforcement is coordinated with the Open Source Geospatial code-of-conduct
committee.
