Looking at the qualifications and past experience of this pick I am starting to wonder what exactly was the rationale behind this? The only work history listed in her resume is as a consultant, and as "Holly Million the Shaman Artist". This will be interesting to say the least.
Her name sounds like something out of a William Gibson novel, for one.

Finally someone to blame for GTK4 and Gnome Shell!
>> Finally someone to blame for GTK4 and Gnome Shell! Having looked at moving from GTK3 to 4, I can understand the frustration. I also read a bunch of stuff and have concluded there are good reasons for the disruption, from making things more generic which allows new combinations of widgets (like images in menus) to allowing stuff to be in a different process. That does not mean the migration or support for doing it…

Gonna be another Mozilla, it seems?
I know it is cool to hate on Mitchell Baker here. Lack of qualifications is not a valid criticism. She has a law degree from Berkley. Passed the California bar exam in '87. Was a high ranking lawyer in Netscape as their first legal hire. Designed the Mozilla Public License. Created the Mozilla Foundation. She has been in executive roles for 20-30 years.
That all said, congrats to the GNOME Foundation and Holly, and I hope you accomplish whatever good deeds you set out to.

What about it do you find silly and/or excessive?
The "Safety versus Comfort" section indicates they do not intend to apply the above sections above fairly.
> "Reverse"-isms, including "reverse racism," "reverse sexism," and "cisphobia" ... The examples listed above are not against the Code of Conduct.
That in itself is a little 'wow'.
> Basic expectations for conduct are not covered by the "reverse-ism clause" and would be enforced irrespective of the demographics of those involved. For example, racial discrimination will not be tolerated, irrespective of the race of those involved.
At first I was confused by this, but now I get it, and still wow. "You're allowed to be racist/sexist, towards white people/cisgendered, just don't actually discriminate against them".
"Safety vs Comfort". Huh.
"It's more important that people be/feel safe than you feel comfortable" - I agree.
But if you need "cisphobia" and "reverse racism" to feel safe, then this is hugely problematic.
Honestly, I actually am somewhat shocked that this isn't more controversial.

We don't but it's bizarre that when told to not be violent, your first thought is "wow this is excessive".
I'm already told that by the biggest code of conduct of all- the law.
