We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.

Given the security-critical nature of this project:
- Responsible disclosure: Security vulnerabilities must be reported privately to the maintainers, not publicly disclosed
- No malicious contributions: Deliberately introducing vulnerabilities, backdoors, or malicious code is strictly prohibited
- Respectful security discussions: Critique implementations, not people
- Educational approach: Help others understand security concepts without condescension
Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
Community leaders 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, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.
This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces. Examples of representing our community include:
- Using an official project e-mail address
- Posting via an official social media account
- Acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event
- Participation in project-related forums, mailing lists, chat channels, and issue trackers
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at:
