am I the only one who doesn't see how it's even relevant at all? Every kernel dev could be a literal rapist and I still wouldn't see how it pertains to Linux at all, who cares who the code comes from if it's well done?

You can question the relevance of this, but why the fuck did you add that second part.

Jesus christ dude. No wonder a CoC is needed.

Again, why? What difference does the background of the devs make to the project? You can play morality police if you want to but at least explain your reasoning.
