An excellent point. My first thought is to appoint or elect a continuing "secretary" (probably a better name for that) to receive requests, and then run the random-selection tool on each incoming notice. The secretary position itself is not responsible for reviewing or resolving, only receiving and assigning. This introduces some possibility of picking favored assignees to particular responses, but even that might be automated by having a bot respond to emails to a particular address. Again, not in favor of a COC at all in the first place, as noted in the next quote: >> Of course, even better than that is not to have a COC in the first place.
