I will not adopt a code of conduct for GNU.

We have something better than that: the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines.

Instead of drawing just a line, with "acceptable" on one side and
"unacceptable" on the other, the Guidelines teach what it means to be
better or worse.  Thus, it guides people to improve, beyond merely
"acceptable".

The FSF supports outreach activities to disprivileged demographic
groups.
