This is a very important point. No CoC can be complete, ever, just like
Git will probably never be complete.

The proposed solution is to give power to a committee of trusted members
of the Git developer community. The key word here is _trust_. I don't
think there can be any doubt that Junio, Peff, Christian and Ævar have
earned the trust of the Git developer community.

For those two reasons, I am totally fine with leaving mostly
hypothetical scenarios a little vague. Because I trust that committee.
