Although, there's something to be said for some potential overlap here. A lot of Codes of Conducts are basically being demanded by people who're not a part of the project.

Rich's point stands up well in response to that sort of thing: if you want it so damn much, fork it, do it yourself, and leave me to do what I do best.

That's the true beauty of open source, that you can just fork, do it yourself, and there we are. If your project is so much better than the original, people will flock to it. If not, well, at least you could still do what you did.
