[Biopython] Code of Conduct

[Peter Cock]

Hello all,

Since this last email, OBF board members have prepared a
draft Code of Conduct, and as per this week's blog post would
like comments by 4 June:

https://www.open-bio.org/2021/05/12/request-for-comments-on-coc-draft/

The draft is here:

https://github.com/OBF/obf-docs/pull/78

This will be put to the OBF membership to vote on (you are all
welcome to join the OBF if you are not already member), with the
expectation of OBF member projects like Biopython adopting this.

Thank you,

Peter
(Now the current OBF president)
