The CoC is not only a guide on how to behave, but also a "welcome" message to new contributors. Therefore, there may be slightly redundant language in there which specifically addresses people currently under-represented in the Qt community. > Secondly, that whole committee thing is somewhat of a stretch in my > mind.

The Committee has the option of only handing out "a private reprimand" in case of minor misconduct. See section "Resolutions".
