Adrian,

As one of the people that interacts with external members of the
community more than most, I can tell you that a CoC is something the
wider community wants. I have sat in feedback meetings with hundreds of
people who are potential community members. These people have ranged in
age, gender, sexual orientation and technical capability on all realms
of the spectrum. The majority of them aren't interested if we do not
have a written Code of Conduct.

All PostgreSQL contributors should be looking at this as an opportunity
to grow our community in a more open and diverse way.

Thanks,

JD
