Hi Anastasia,
thank you for your response. Since there are a few issues orthogonal to each other, I'll split my response into multiple mails to avoid polluting different sub-threads.

About Code of Conduct: this is established and standard terminology, and a project needs one. However the content is in our hands, and this is exactly why there is a patch now under review. People are already reviewing, adding comments, and you are very welcome to add your comments as well.
A question of process: Why is the Code of Conduct discussion happening in a code review tool (gerrit)?
Number of participants in various communication channels of flashrom as of now or as of last occurence (some duplicates may be present): Mailing list: 389 subscribers IRC: 89 users Gerrit Code of Conduct patch: 1 author, 6 reviewers (not all of them active in the discussion), 2 people in CC Dev meeting: 3 people
Even if we assume that IRC users are only a subset of mailing list participants and thus don't need to be counted, the discussion in the Code of Conduct patch in Gerrit reaches only ~3% of the flashrom community.
That is a huge problem and should be addressed first. Otherwise this gives a similar impression to referring mankind to the demolition plans on display somewhere in Alpha Centauri (context: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy).
