Yeah, personally I'm a bit worried about this too.  The proposed CoC
does contain provisions to try to prevent misusing it, but whether those
are strong enough remains to be seen --- and it'll depend a good deal
on the judgment of the committee members.  We have a provision in there
for periodic review of the CoC, and it'll be important to adjust it if
we see abuses.

A community that has an exceedingly reasonable and popular CoC is Ubuntu:

https://www.ubuntu.com/community/code-of-conduct
 
A community that is the most successful open project in history and didn't need a CoC is the Linux kernel project. I'd say we more better resemble the later than the former.:-)
