And here's those amendments.
Amendment A - move mailing list CoC text to "further reading"
Justification: I think that it's better to keep the CoC as a general
purpose document, rather than have it specific to each medium. The
information at http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct is

I'm hopeful Wouter will accept this one, as I don't think it
substantially changes the CoC.

# Debian Code of Conduct

- Debian has a [diversity statement](http://www.debian.org/intro/diversity)
- The [Debian Community Guidelines](http://people.debian.org/~enrico/dcg/)

Amendment B - Updates to the CoC should be via developers as a whole
Justification - I believe that this document should have the strength of
being a whole project statement. Being able to be updated by a single
person doesn't feel comfortable with me.
I'm less convinced Wouter will accept this, but I think it should be on
the ballot!
