Instead the intention is to discourage people from personal attacks at each other, which negatively affects the group as a whole.
It doesn't affect anyone at all except those that choose to read them and have nothing better to spend their time on than react to them and feed the trolls.
The way to improve the mailing lists is to move the traffic from mariadb.com / mariadb.org internal mailing lists/private mail onto the public lists.
Is this not a public list? I think I have worked who/what sparked off this decision to introduce a CofC - the reason I wasn't previously aware is because the person I now think has triggered this action has been on my "delete any email from / to / about this person" for some years, due to unpleasant interactions I have seen or been part of, on too many other lists. I can certainly say that this person does not in the least bit hold back from expressing their opinions in public and having them archived for the Internet to read, so I don't see how switching anything to a more public forum (and I still question, is this list not already public enough?) would make any useful difference.
