I'll note that at least the Contributor Covenant is pretty vague about enforcement:

I'd think refining THAT part for the project may provide the benefits of discussion...

But the SciPy CoC has a whole additional document that goes into further detail on this specific issue, so let's not concern ourselves with the weaknesses of the Covenant (there are plenty), but rather on what is being proposed for adoption here:
