What I don't understand in your posting: On the one hand you mention,
that the topics of the proposed CCoC have never been an issue on the
RTEMS list and on the other hand you point out, that other CCoCs on
other lists may have made some users leave the list.
Experience tells, in longer terms "project leaders" tend to 
instrumentalize "Code of Conducts" as a means of oppression and 
suppression, just to silence opposition.
Do you think one of the porposed CCoC's topics would make people leave
this project?
Yes, definitely - CoCs endanger people to being banned from lists 
because of having expressing opions. To not expose themselves to this 
danger, they often simply do not express their opinions. They implement 
a climate of uncertainty and fear.
This is counterproductive to OSS-projects. OSS-projects need open minds, 
and needs tolerance - not censorship.
I see no harm in the CCoC, and always appreciate clear words.
IMO, "clear words" and a CCoC are self-contractory and mutally exclusive.
