I tried to make this point in the SC self-nomination that I posted last night, but I just want to be absolutely clear here: I think this proposal, as is, is a bad idea. We cannot just ignore our responsibility to CoC enforcement. If it doesn’t belong with the people supposedly (according to PEP 13) in charge of making contributions “as accessible, inclusive, and sustainable as possible”, where exactly does it belong? We cannot just elide this part of PEP 13 and hope CoC enforcement just works out. It is counter to the goals of the SC (again, as described in PEP 13).
As I mentioned in my self-nomination, I’m not opposed to a different group (possibly with overlapping members) given the responsibility of community management, but it needs to be clear, deliberate and holistic. The CoC and how it’s handled matters to the community, and the community matters to the CoC.
