or adopt an existing one, like maybe:

The Contributor Covenant <http://www.contributor-covenant.org/> was adopted
by several prominent open source projects, including Atom, AngularJS,
Eclipse, and even Rails. According to Github, total adoption of the
Contributor Covenant is nearing an astounding ten thousand open source
projects.

I'm trying to figure out why numpy (Or any project, really) has either
unique needs or people better qualified to write a CoC than any other
project or community. So much like OSS licences -- it's much better to pick
an established one than write your own.

For the record, the Covenant does have a laundry list of "classes", that
does not include political belief, but does mention "political" here:

"""
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
...
Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
 ...
"""
