conduct: Upgrade to Contributor Covenant 

It's pretty much the GitHub standard, says the obvious, and does it
better than our old one which was a little bit rambling.

Intentionally just doing it instead of discussing it, in the hope of
avoiding trolling. So sue me.

## Conduct
# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
* We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming
environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation,
disability, ethnicity, religion, or similar personal characteristic.
## Our Pledge
* On IRC, please avoid using overtly sexual nicknames or other nicknames
that might detract from a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for
all.
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race,
religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
* Please be kind and courteous. There's no need to be mean or rude.
## Our Standards
* Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design
or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There
is seldom a right answer.
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
include:
* Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum. If you have solid
ideas you want to experiment with, make a fork and see how it works.
* Using welcoming and inclusive language
* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
* Focusing on what is best for the community
* Showing empathy towards other community members
* We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass
anyone. That is not welcome behaviour. We interpret the term
"harassment" as including the definition in the <a
href="http://citizencodeofconduct.org/">Citizen Code of Conduct</a>;
if you have any lack of clarity about what might be included in that
concept, please read their definition. In particular, we don't
tolerate behavior that excludes people in socially marginalized
groups.
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
* Private harassment is also unacceptable. No matter who you are, if you
feel you have been or are being harassed or made uncomfortable by a
community member, please contact one of the channel ops or any of the
Syncthing core team immediately. Whether you're a regular contributor
or a newcomer, we care about making this community a safe place for
you and we've got your back.
* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
advances
* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
* Public or private harassment
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
address, without explicit permission
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
professional setting
* Likewise any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting or other
attention-stealing behaviour is not welcome.
## Our Responsibilities
## Moderation
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
These are the policies for upholding our community's standards of
conduct in our communication channels, most notably in Syncthing-related
IRC channels and on the web forum.
Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
threatening, offensive, or harmful.
1. Remarks that violate the Syncthing standards of conduct, including
hateful, hurtful, oppressive, or exclusionary remarks, are not
allowed. (Cursing is allowed, but never targeting another user, and
never in a hateful manner.)
## Scope
2. Remarks that moderators find inappropriate, whether listed in the
code of conduct or not, are also not allowed.
This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
3. Moderators will first respond to such remarks with a warning.
## Enforcement
4. If the warning is unheeded, the user will be "kicked," i.e., kicked
out of the communication channel to cool off.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported by contacting the project team at security@syncthing.net. All
complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
5. If the user comes back and continues to make trouble, they will be
banned, i.e., indefinitely excluded.
Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
members of the project's leadership.
6. Moderators may choose at their discretion to un-ban the user if it
was a first offense and they offer the offended party a genuine
apology.
## Attribution
7. If a moderator bans someone and you think it was unjustified, please
take it up with that moderator, or with a different moderator, **in
private**. Complaints about bans in-channel are not allowed.
This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage], version 1.4,
available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html
8. Moderators are held to a higher standard than other community
members. If a moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they
should expect less leeway than others.
In the Syncthing community we strive to go the extra step to look out
for each other. Don't just aim to be technically unimpeachable, try to
be your best self. In particular, avoid flirting with offensive or
sensitive issues, particularly if they're off-topic; this all too
often leads to unnecessary fights, hurt feelings, and damaged trust;
worse, it can drive people away from the community entirely.
And if someone takes issue with something you said or did, resist the
urge to be defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained about
and apologize. Even if you feel you were misinterpreted or unfairly
accused, chances are good there was something you could've communicated
better — remember that it's your responsibility to make your fellow
community members comfortable. Everyone wants to get along and we are
all here first and foremost because we want to talk about cool
technology. You will find that people will be eager to assume good
intent and forgive as long as you earn their trust.
