I, too, wondered if it might be more appropriate to have the list of
names and email addresses separated from the repository and just linked
from the CoC. Perhaps someone would need to expunge themselves from the
list permanently, or perhaps we'd want to protect against a hypothetical
person in a position of control changing the list to their trusted
cronies. I cannot think of a realistic scenario or practical setup which
would actually guarantee any such benefits and this solution is simple
and practical.

Overall for this proposed CoC patch: ACK
