As part of our code of conduct, we maintain a list of active members on
the Project Leadership Committee, which serves a couple of purposes. The
details are in 3f9ef874a7 (CODE_OF_CONDUCT: mention individual
project-leader emails, 2019-09-26), but the gist is as follows:
- It makes it clear that people with a CoC complaint may contact
members individually as opposed to the general PLC list (in case the
subject of their complaint has to do with one of the committee
members).
- It also serves as the de-facto list of people on the PLC, which
isn't committed anywhere else in the tree.
As of [1], Peff is no longer a member of Git's Project Leadership
Committee. Let's update the list of active members accordingly [2].
This also gives us a convenient opportunity to thank Peff for his many
years of service on the PLC, during which he helped the Git community in
more ways than we can easily list here.

Update the CoC added in 5cdf2301 (add a Code of Conduct document,
2019-09-24 from version 1.4 to version 2.0. This is the version found
at [1] with the following minor changes:
- We preserve the change to the CoC in 3f9ef874a7 (CODE_OF_CONDUCT:
mention individual project-leader emails, 2019-09-26)
- We preserve the custom intro added in 5cdf2301d4 (add a Code of
Conduct document, 2019-09-24)
This change intentionally preserves a warning emitted on "git diff
--check". It's better to make it easily diff-able with upstream than
to fix whitespace changes in our version while we're at it.

When the CoC document was added in 5cdf2301d4 (add a Code of Conduct
document, 2019-09-24) it was added from some 1.4 version of the
document whose word wrapping doesn't match what's currently at [1],
which matches content/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.md in the CoC
repository[2].
Let's update our version to match that, to make reading subsequent
diffs easier. There are no non-whitespace changes here.

It's possible that somebody on the project committee is the subject of a
complaint. In that case, it may be useful to be able to contact the
other members individually, so let's make it clear that's an option.
This also serves to enumerate the set of people on the committee. That
lets you easily _know_ if you're in the situation mentioned above. And
it's just convenient to list who's involved in the process, since the
project committee list is not anywhere else in the repository.

We've never had a formally written Code of Conduct document. Though it
has been discussed off and on over the years, for the most part the
behavior on the mailing list has been good enough that nobody felt the
need to push one forward.
However, even if there aren't specific problems now, it's a good idea to
have a document:
- it puts everybody on the same page with respect to expectations.
This might avoid poor behavior, but also makes it easier to handle
it if it does happen.
- it publicly advertises that good conduct is important to us and will
be enforced, which may make some people more comfortable with
joining our community
- it may be a good time to cement our expectations when things are
quiet, since it gives everybody some distance rather than focusing
on a current contentious issue
This patch adapts the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct. As opposed
to writing our own from scratch, this uses common and well-accepted
language, and strikes a good balance between illustrating expectations
and avoiding a laundry list of behaviors. It's also the same document
used by the Git for Windows project.
The text is taken mostly verbatim from:
https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html
I also stole a very nice introductory paragraph from the Git for Windows
version of the file.
There are a few subtle points, though:
- the document refers to "the project maintainers". For the code, we
generally only consider there to be one maintainer: Junio C Hamano.
But for dealing with community issues, it makes sense to involve
more people to spread the responsibility. I've listed the project
committee address of git@sfconservancy.org as the contact point.
- the document mentions banning from the community, both in the intro
paragraph and in "Our Responsibilities". The exact mechanism here is
left vague. I can imagine it might start with social enforcement
(not accepting patches, ignoring emails) and could escalate to
technical measures if necessary (asking vger admins to block an
address). It probably make sense _not_ to get too specific at this
point, and deal with specifics as they come up.
