Thanks for the link. It is almost identical to the Code of Conduct that
went into Linux 4.19-rc4 minus the enforcement section.

It would make sense to remove the enforcement section and discuss and
add enforcement after the usual patch review process we already have
in place.

I personally would prefer amending the CoC in Linux 4.19 removing the
enforcement details over waiting to discuss at the Maintainer and/or
Kernel summit and releasing Linux 4.19 with the CoC v1 as it reads now.
