I think it's OK to leave the above section, as it doesn't speak to enforcement, but rather is just a set of reporting instructions, with an assurance of confidentiality. This seems to me not to be the objectionable part of this section. (IOW, I would omit this removal from the patch). If the next part is indeed removed, then maybe the section needs to be renamed? -- Tim > - > -Maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith > may > -face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other > members of the > -project’s leadership. > - > Attribution > ===========
