justice is not supposed to be about the perpetrators, but about the victims. a project having some sort of code of conduct or rules / behavioral standards or whatever in place is a safety guarantee people who are often the subject of harassment, for example for marginalized people. maybe it's not the ideal form, but what even is the alternative for projects that *are* community driven? of course stating explicitly that assholes will not be tolerated shouldn't even be necessary in the first place but the reality is that in many places they are tolerated and even celebrated and such an explicit pledge is a thing that genuinely makes people feel more safe
