Hella biased opinion: the Contributor Covenant is not a good CoC and people should stop using it.

I'm not necessarily arguing for a checkbox approach as much as somewhere that has a curated list of what the options even are, and talks a bit about the tradeoffs between them. Maybe with education that these are not legal docs and you can change them more freely
e.g. I think https://opensource.guide/code-of-conduct/ … is one of the better sources out there right now, and is where many folks are currently finding this at all, but it lists a total of 3 options, and gives no information about the differences other than "this one is really popular"

So -- with the caveat that I'm just going to focus on open source projects for a minute, and not other uses -- I'm one of the primary authors of the Citizen Code of Conduct and we didn't know we'd be listed in GitHub's materials.

I've written my own guide at http://safetyfirstpdx.org/resources/ . I wouldn't personally encourage open source projects to add a CoC to their repo en masse -- I think it leaves people on all sides unprepared and leads to backlash.

FWIW https://github.com/github/opensource.guide … (of course not saying that it's easy to make improvements...if I had any easily implementable ideas I'd make pull requests myself!)

I could make lots of suggestions, but also that’s what I was doing as a consultant
I think there’s a lot of knowledge on OSS community governance that’s not well-surfaced, generally, and a major tendency for burnout
