My opinion (having had a few small edits to the PyCon COC) - A Code
prevents behaviors, because it sets rules up front, and actions become
simple - "you already knew".

PyCon Code of Conduct was adopted, and has been written as one of the best
around - adopted by other organizations.

ChiPy could easily take the PyCon COC as it's own, or review and make parts
specific - or do that as a set of iterations.
This is not hard - just need to make a decision to make it so.

Done?  Just decide - that's all.
