It is covered under 4.1.3.

"Make or override any decision authorised by the powers of the Project 
Leader or a Delegate."

I do not think it is premature because of what I have written 
previously.

“At this point in the discussion I would like to progress toward a 
decision.”

“One way to do so would be a GR.  On one hand, using a GR to modify 
one line of the code of conduct for the mailing list seems like a 
rather large hammer for a rather small problem.  But on the other 
hand, many people feel strongly enough about this that a GR might be 
the only mechanism where people will feel like the outcome is fair.”

“My question is, is there any other decision making process that would 
be preferable to a GR to decide this issue?”

I would be interested to hear if you are aware of any other decision 
making process that you think should decide this issue.  For example, 
imagine that I opened a bug against l.d.o and the listmasters decided 
to implement the change I propose.  Do you think those who are against 
that change would be satisfied by that process?
