I like this as a possibly way to find areas of Fedora where our
community isn't as welcoming as we all would like and have people that
can join in and provide positive info and answers (ignoring or letting
the unwelcoming people drift off to the fringe). 

I do think we should be carefull here not to empower this group with
all kinds of punishment ability or enforcement. Negativity feeds on
more Negativity. ;)

I'm not sure about a code of conduct, but the above one is nice. It
points out things you should try to do/be, not things you cannot do or
be, which is a good approach.
