I'm sure we'd all be ecstatic if the CoC committee never actually has anything to do. The point of this exercise is to make new people --- particularly women and others who have often felt disadvantaged in technical communities --- feel safe and welcome here.
Also: we *have* had cases where women who had been contributors left because of harassment, and I'd like to ensure that doesn't happen again.
