Good to know! I'm looking forward to see it and participate at
the discussions there.

As a side note, IMHO, this would be a way better handled if you had
added the new CoC document with some top note on it explaining about
that, and saying that the roll-out to the new CoC will happen only
after having such FAQ discussed and merged upstream.

Yeah, fully agreed. The concept of having a CoC and be respectful is good. 

The only points I'm not happy is that this particular one doesn't seem to fit
to our development model, as it was conceived with Github in mind.

Thanks,
