Does it make sense to integrate language about Principles of Authentic Participation?

Hi!

Would it make sense for the Contributor Covenant to include language for the Principles of Authentic Participation for open source projects?

This is part of an effort I am working on with others to draft a set of Principles of what authentic participation in open source projects look like, which includes individuals, corporations, NGOs, etc. In our 2020-04-07 Working Group meeting, the similarity of Codes of Conduct came up while we were talking about how to encourage wider adoption of these Principles.

Our Working Group mostly agreed that getting open source projects to adopt another document or making custom modifications to a Code of Conduct is a hard ask. I opened this issue to ask if upstream would be interested in accepting a patch with language around the Principles. We won't ask upstream to write these changes (unless you really want to), but before we spend the time writing a patch to the Contributor Covenant, we want to verify this is something upstream is at least interested in.

Please let me know if the Principles of Authentic Participation would make sense to integrate into the Contributor Covenant.

Thanks!
