[LGM] Code of Conduct

[ginger coons]

Hi Greg,

It would b helpful if you could highlight any content changes, so that
those who might want to offer an opinion on your proposed changes can get
an idea of what you're suggesting, as it compares to the original CoC. Any
substantive changes need to be taken extremely seriously, as the content of
our CoC reflects who we are as a community. Changes definitely shouldn't be
made lightly.

Best,

-ginger
