How about we just simplify the code of conduct to the following:
Any member in the various PostgreSQL lists is expected to maintain
respect to others and not use foul language. A variation from
the previous sentence shall be considered a violation of the CoC.

Yeah, a busybody CoC committee could do more harm than good.
The way the CoC tries to address that is that the committee can't
initiate action of its own accord: somebody has to bring it a complaint.
Of course, a member of the committee could go out and find a "problem"
and then file a complaint --- but then they'd have to recuse themselves
from dealing with that complaint, so there's an incentive not to.
