The document I would have liked to have read when starting out is
currently checked into the source tree in
Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst .

What is your actual concern? Why does it matter so much to you to push
back against this code of conduct? What does it say that you so
fundamentally object to?

(I personally *do* want to see most of the patch series that started
this particular thread dropped, because half of it undermines the point
of the document. The original commit, however, is a matter of
celebration.)
