It is disappointing that it had to be committed without following the usual
process. That said, I do support the direction and stating the expectations.

One of the reasons for starting this thread is to get a clear understanding
of the intent for next steps and the next steps for involving the community
and evolving  the CoC. I hope a concrete plan or some plan emerges out of this

Since the way it currently reads, it adds to maintainer responsibilities,
it is important to open it up for review by all maintainers as opposed to
participants of just the Maintainer Summit which is a very small group.
