Unsorted observations:

  * There are an awful lot of transgender people in the free software community for both being very small sets of people.  This is a thing a project actively looking for contributors might want to keep in mind.

  * Free software has always been explicitly political.

  * I'm ambivalent about codes of conduct myself.  For why, see the talk page and history of any major wikipedia article.  Too much structure is a very bad thing.
