How do you know that you haven't got problems already? It may well be 
that people are put off from joining internals precisely because they 
have nothing to tell them the environment won't be hostile toward them, 
and there's been enough adverse publicity in the past about how "toxic" 
internals is, and enough adverse publicity about other Open Source 
groups that are abusive.... but you'd never know how many people wanted 
to contribute but were put off... Having a public CoC is a way of 
telling potential supporters/contributors who are thinking about getting 
involved that they can do so without needing to worry about abuse.
