- Publishing others' private information without explicit permission

Enforcement Responsibilities
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing these standards and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
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.
