Spoke with @davidism and the decision was to use Contributor Covenant. It has easy GitHub integration and quality text.

For context, Here is a comparison of different codes of conduct from geek feminism:
Contributor Covenant looks like it is a good default because it covers:

Descriptions of common but unacceptable behavior
Reporting instructions with contact information
Information about enforcement
Clear demarcation between anti-harassment policy and general community guidelines

Flask
=====

Flask is a lightweight `WSGI`_ web application framework. It is designed
to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to
complex applications. It began as a simple wrapper around `Werkzeug`_
and `Jinja`_ and has become one of the most popular Python web
application frameworks.

Flask offers suggestions, but doesn't enforce any dependencies or
project layout. It is up to the developer to choose the tools and
libraries they want to use. There are many extensions provided by the
community that make adding new functionality easy.


Installing
----------

Install and update using `pip`_:

.. code-block:: text

    pip install -U Flask


A Simple Example
----------------

.. code-block:: python

    from flask import Flask

    app = Flask(__name__)

    @app.route('/')
    def hello():
        return 'Hello, World!'

.. code-block:: text

    $ env FLASK_APP=hello.py flask run
     * Serving Flask app "hello"
     * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
