Re: CoC policy for package contents (was: Re: Can the community team remove packages or kick me out for not removing packages?)

Hello,

I have written a code of conduct (can't be linked because codeberg is for some 
reason marked as spam) which requires an actual offended person to exist when a 
violation is reported. I think it would be a great thing to have in Debian, to 
avoid zealous reporting of things without knowing if they actually offend 
anyone.

I think "it offends me" is an ok reason, while "it doesn't offend me but might 
offend someone" could be valid or could be not valid, since it's an attempt at 
mind reading.

Also "it offends some bigot" is in my opinion a terrible reason, but defining 
boundaries is challenging.

I don't really have the will to waste my time with the debian project at the 
moment.

I've ceased any activity on d-mentors, quit a few IRC channels and I plan to 
orphan and remove myself from uploader from some other things, whenever I'll 
have some time to do that.

And of course I plan to learn from my past mistakes and never go and give a 
talk like [1], nor attend a debian event unless I'm required to do it as part 
of my job.

Best
