I don't think that changes anything other than the fork having stale
marketing copy.

For the CoC issue, and if it does or does not violate the CoC, I think you
should fire this off to psf at python.org.  This is where I don't like
intentionally vague guidelines.  Yes, they stop schoolkid rule lawyering,
but it does mean we depend on adjudicators quite a bit.
