Minor (or not?) comment:

* To maintain a safe, respectful, productive and collaborative
environment all participants must ensure that their language and
actions are free of personal attacks and disparaging remarks of any
kind.

The "disparaging remarks" part of this could easily be taken to forbid
technical criticism of any sort, eg "this patch is bad because X,Y, and
Z", even when X,Y, and Z are perfectly neutral technical points.  "Of any
kind" doesn't improve that either.  I'm on board with the "personal
attacks" part.  Maybe "disparaging personal remarks" would be better?

Hrm, I see your point but the definition of disparaging is:

expressing the opinion that something is of little worth; derogatory.

I guess if we got into a VI vs Emacs argument the CoC could apply but wouldn't that also be a good thing?
