Updates Code of Conduct to Contributor Coventant 3.0 taken from https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/3/0/code_of_conduct/ and swaps contact info from Alex to me.

Comment thread CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
Tensions can occur between community members even when they are trying their best to collaborate. Not every conflict represents a code of conduct violation, and this Code of Conduct reinforces encouraged behaviors and norms that can help avoid conflicts and minimize harm.

Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately.
When an incident does occur, it is important to report it promptly. To report a possible violation, **contact Bart Piotrowski at `[email protected]`.**

We need to eventually switch this to some ticketing system to preserve responses and let more people in. GNOME is running a FreeScout instance so maybe that.

I don't know much about the infra side of things but took a quick look at FreeScout and it seems like a good option indeed, and it'll probably scale better in the future.

I guess the helpdesk stuff from gitlab didn't hit the mark?

I don't know if it did or not for GNOME (apparently not?) but I guess for Flathub/Flatpak it wouldn't matter because it's GitHub right now, and might move to Forgejo later, and I guess neither have any kind of helpdesk

Flathub is moving to Forgejo. I wasn't aware of Flatpak doing that (and it might not even make sense).

There have been low-stakes/low-bandwidth talks in the past about moving Flatpak and/or XDP back to FreeDesktop but nothing concrete has really been decided so far.

I'm aware of those, that's why I wondered, if gitlabs helpdesk failed validation for some reason.

Aha :) I see, well I think Bart may have a better answer to this as I've never used the helpdesk from GitLab.

GitLab's one is too fiddle, and required some custom code to work correctly with custom aliases.

LGTM. I think the Covenant version is a little more complete than what was here until now so that's a plus.

Got an approval from Alex over e-mail so going to bypass requirements.
