Code of Conduct

ETLantic contributors, maintainers, and community participants must keep project spaces respectful, technically focused, and safe.

Expected behavior

• Critique ideas and evidence, not people.
• Welcome questions from people with different experience levels.
• Give actionable feedback and explain blocking concerns.
• Respect privacy and never publish another person's sensitive information.
• Disclose conflicts of interest that affect technical decisions.

Unacceptable behavior

Harassment, discrimination, threats, sexualized attention, deliberate intimidation, doxxing, and sustained disruption are not tolerated.

Reporting

Report conduct concerns privately to the lead maintainer listed in MAINTAINERS.md (currently the contact in pyproject.toml). Do not open a public issue containing private or sensitive allegations.

If the report concerns the lead maintainer, use GitHub private channels or ask GitHub Support / a mutually trusted intermediary for an alternate path before sending sensitive details.

Include:

• What happened and where (issue, PR, discussion, private channel)
• Approximate dates
• Links or screenshots without doxxing others
• Whether you consent to being contacted for follow-up

Enforcement

Maintainers may remove content, restrict participation, or ban participants when necessary to protect the community. Enforcement decisions should be documented privately, applied consistently, and minimize disclosure of affected people's information.

Target response (best-effort during alpha): acknowledge within seven days when possible. Formal SLAs are not available.

Appeals

Request reconsideration by writing privately to the lead maintainer (or the alternate channel used for the original report) with new evidence. Appeals do not guarantee a different outcome.
