Anyway, I don't say that it cannot happen, I just say that, AFAIK, we never got such concerns in the PHP community. So, maybe we should go the 'politically-correct' way but I'm afraid that's just a waste of time or, as Stas said, a solution for no problem. How do you know that you haven't got problems already? It may well be that people are put off from joining internals precisely because they have nothing to tell them the environment won't be hostile toward them, and there's been enough adverse publicity in the past about how "toxic" internals is, and enough adverse publicity about other Open Source groups that are abusive.... but you'd never know how many people wanted to contribute but were put off... Having a public CoC is a way of telling potential supporters/contributors who are thinking about getting involved that they can do so without needing to worry about abuse.
