While I don't believe there is a debian-legal specific "code of
conduct" I do believe that the poster is referring to this "code of
conduct" for all debian mailing lists, which would encompass
debian-legal: http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/
Code of conduct
When using the Debian mailing lists, please follow these rules:
* Do not send spam; see the advertising policy below.
* Send all of your e-mails in English. Only use other languages on
mailing lists where that is explicitly allowed (e.g. French on
debian-user-french).
* Make sure that you are using the proper list. In particular,
don't send user-related questions to developer-related mailing lists.
* Wrap your lines at 80 characters or less for ordinary
discussion. Lines longer than 80 characters are acceptable for
computer-generated output (e.g., ls -l).
* Do not send automated "out-of-office" or "vacation" messages.
* Do not send subscription or unsubscription requests to the list
address itself; use the respective -request address instead.
* Never send your messages in HTML; use plain text instead.
* Avoid sending large attachments.
* When replying to messages on the mailing list, do not send a
carbon copy (CC) to the original poster unless they explicitly request
to be copied.
* If you send messages to lists to which you are not subscribed,
always note that fact in the body of your message.
* Do not use foul language; besides, some people receive the lists
via packet radio, where swearing is illegal.
* Try not to flame; it is not polite.
