[Bigbang-dev] BigBang project code of conduct

[Nick Doty]

In reviewing the community standards checklist on GitHub (thanks for the pointer, Seb), I was reminded that we don't have a documented Code of Conduct for our open source project. We are a small and friendly team, but I think committing now to a code of conduct is important, and makes it easier to invite new contributors and encourage a welcoming environment.

GitHub recommends starting from this one:
https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html <https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html>
It's widely used and seems reasonable to me, so I suggest we go ahead with that if we're all comfortable committing to it.

One issue: we need an email address where people can report problems of abusive behavior to the project team. That needs to be an email address that will be sent automatically to the core developers, but which specifically isn't publicly archived, as such reports need to be kept confidential while being investigated. So, it needs to be a separate list from bigbang-dev.

Niels, do you want to set up another list @data-activism.net, maybe bigbang-owners? Or I think I can create a Berkeley list (through our special Google Groups install) and just manage the people invited to it and make sure it isn't archived.

Once we have an email address set up, I'll open a pull request to add the Code of Conduct and update the README to point to it.

Cheers,
Nick

P.S. Also, should we update the Core Developers list on the wiki?
