While I have sympathy with this argument, requiring a full GR to change
the content of the CoC feels a little bit heavyweight to me. How about
something like this?

Replace 3. in the original GR proposal with:

3. Updates to this code of conduct can be made by the unanimous consent
   of at least K* developers or, failing that, if at least K* developers
   in favour outweigh those developers opposed with a 3:1 majority.
   Amendments shall be proposed for discussion on a publicly-readable
   mailing list designated by the Project Secretary. There is a combined
   minimum discussion and seconding period of two weeks folowing the
   proposal of an amendment, after which the amendment is withdrawn if
   it has not received sufficient support.

   Updates may also be made by the Debian Developers as a whole using
   the standard General Resolution procedure.

* I would be open to changing this.

Thanks,
