Regarding long enumerations, I would suggest that the added bullet points are examples of positive behavior. There are actually fewer examples of negative behavior in 1.4. I think this improves the tone.

I prefer the addition of the positive examples in 1.4, the space for contacting the project team, the organization/headings of each section, and the overall wording of 1.4. It seems more comprehensive and professional.

I agree. That new version addresses my concern about the harsh tone of version 1.2.

Overall there seems to be a preference for the Contributor Covenant or at least something of that level of conciseness, rather than the Jupyter/Django style CoC. So let's go in that direction.

Folks who look like you or me aren't really the intended audience for
this – we already know we're included :-). The important thing is how
the message comes across to those who might otherwise feel excluded.
So I think this is a place where we should defer to the experts.
