We agree on this, I should have been more precised and said that we could then 
device to submit proposals upstream if we deem them to be applicable, but 
there's certainly no guarantee that upstream would accept them.

I also want to note that, while I believe our community should decide what is 
best for itself, there have been lots of work done on codes of conducts in the 
past, and it would seem equally erroneous to me to ignore that and think we 
can do better by ourselves with very little experience in the area. Discussing 
proposed changes with upstream has the potential to bring interesting 
feedback, even if upstream isn't interested in accepting the change proposals.
