Let's compare this to the VLC code of conduct:
https://wiki.videolan.org/Code_of_Conduct/

Note how it has a list of specific violations, instead of vague things like
"Be excellent" that the FFmpeg one has.
Note how it has a huge section on disciplinary procedures.
Note that this CoC should according to FFmpeg "rules" go through a vote,
again more "rules" that aren't enforced.
