I'm sure we'd all be ecstatic if the CoC committee never actually has
anything to do.  The point of this exercise is to make new people ---
particularly women and others who have often felt disadvantaged in
technical communities --- feel safe and welcome here.

Also: we *have* had cases where women who had been contributors left
because of harassment, and I'd like to ensure that doesn't happen again.
