This sounds much like what was proposed in the discussion about the
DebConf CoC back in September on -discuss (although referring to
other lines in the "Be inclusive" section). IIRC this mail from Marga
was very well received:

http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20140904.221307.3c4b2a0c.en.html

And RichiH later argued as well for consensual private
interactions in

http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20140910.230227.9df23ed4.en.html


Seems like the changes never made it to the website afterwards ...
