Kent, I'd like to gently remind you that Shuah is not speaking in her
personal capacity, but as a representative of the Code of Conduct
Committee[1], as she has noted in her signature.  The Code of Conduct
Committee is appointed by, and reports to, the TAB[2], which is an
elected body composed of kernel developers and maintainers.

[1] https://www.kernel.org/code-of-conduct.html
[2] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/code-of-conduct-interpretation.html

Speaking purely in a personal capacity, and not as a member of the TAB
(although I do serve as vice-chair of that body) I am extremely
grateful of the work of Shuah and her colleages (listed in [1]).  I
believe that their work is important in terms of establishing guard
rails regarding the minimum standards of behavior in our community.

If you look at the git history of the kernel sources, you will see
that a large number of your fellow maintainers assented to this
approach --- for example by providing their Acked-by in commit
1279dbeed36f ("Code of Conduct Interpretation: Add document explaining
how the Code of Conduct is to be interpreted").

Best regards,
