[Bigbang-dev] BigBang project code of conduct

[Nick Doty]

Thanks for the note, Corinne.

I think it's an inherent issue in handling code of conduct issues within a small group. There need to be project maintainers to contact with issues because project maintainers are the ones who are responsible for managing participation in the project, but especially with a project with a small group of maintainers, complaints might be about those maintainers or someone they're close to. The code of conduct is explicitly intended to apply to the maintainers as well.

I would be fine with decreasing membership on the owners/complaints list so that it isn't all of the most recent developers (four dudes), although I think having at least 2-3 people is good so that issues don't just get dropped if someone is offline. I think it would be ideal to have some diversity of gender on that list, but I'm also hesitant to immediately put a burden on incoming participants like Corinne.

I'm open to suggestions. I think we can continue to make changes over time, including while the code of conduct process is in place.

Cheers,
Nick

This might create a thorny situation if the complaint is lodged against someone of that group and also sending a complaint to four dudes might make some people uncomfortable.
