Thanks for the pointer, that's exactly what I was hoping to find. Here is some text from Contributor Covenant:
"Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the project team at [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS]. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project’s leadership."
This is different from the proposed CoC, because:
(a) repercussions are not specified, i.e. they can be contextual
(b) there is a confidentiality provision
(c) decisions are made by open-source project leadership, not a separate "CoC team" with TBD members, electoral process and governance
Can Xen Project adopt Contributor Covenant directly? It has a large base of adopters, including Intel and Google projects, so we would benefit from upstream improvements as the CoC is tested in the real world:
