The appropriate place to discuss and get feedback on a proposed CoC for 
mailing lists would be the mailing lists themselves, or in the case of a 
general mailing list code, the talk@ list. I'm also not sure that a 
moderator can adopt it for a list by themselves - they'd need to have 
general agreement about the matter with the community using the list. 
This does not stop moderators consistently from enforcing higher 
standards of communication on lists they moderate, and nothing has 
changed there.
