It's taken a while to get here, but the code of conduct that I set out to produce about a year ago now has been voted on. The result which has been released earlier this week is that the code of conduct has been accepted, but that future updates would require another GR.

Although not my personal preference, it's pretty much what I expected. I still think allowing the DPL to update the code of conduct in the future would be preferable over having to go through another GR (after all, if the DPL does something silly, we have ways of reverting that decision); but regardless, the fact that the code of conduct is accepted is, in my opinion, a major step forward for Debian.

Thanks to everyone who voted!
