🆕 💕 .github: Adopt Contributor Covenant v2.1 as CoC

This commit adds the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct v2.1 as the
Code of Conduct for this specific repository. It is adapted to give
directions to someone to first work with the Design & UX Working Group
to resolve disputes and issues, and if this is unsuccessful, then to
contact the Sustain OSS Code of Conduct Committee.

Since the Sustain OSS community is in the process of updating its own
Code of Conduct, I see the addition of a CoC to this repository as
supplementary to that effort. Ideally, we encourage a contributor to
work with our group first to resolve an issue, so as to reduce strain on
the over-arching CoC Committee with Sustain OSS. However, if that is
unsuccessful or someone wishes to go that route, they can contact the
Sustain OSS Code of Conduct Committee.

Since we are already getting exposure and interest from folks beyond our
core Working Group team, I believe it is important we put this in place
now to explicitly state our values as a team and project, and to give
some intermediary advice on what to do if there are issues or behavior
issues. I see this as complementary to the over-arching CoC update with
Sustain OSS as a whole, and this should not conflict with that work.

I request all maintainers to sign off with a review on this commit to
acknowledge this change.

+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
+
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.
+
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
+
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement in one of two ways:
+
+1. For minor disputes, conflicts, and behavior issues, complaints should first be directed to project leads of the [Design & UX Working Group](https://sustainoss.org/working-groups/design-and-ux/), preferably through the [Open Collective Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/opencollective/shared_invite/zt-f43qko76-sD8G~e_vQCm4TtpIsM4i~A).
+1. For major issues, repetitive behavior issues, or complaints about project leads, the Sustain OSS Code of Conduct Committee can be contacted via coc [at] sustainoss [dot] org.
+
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.
+
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**:
+Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**:
+A private, written warning from community leaders, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate.
+A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**:
+A violation through a single incident or series of actions.
+
+**Consequence**:
+A warning with consequences for continued behavior.
+No interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time.
+This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels like social media.
+Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**:
+A serious violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**:
+A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**:
+Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**:
+A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the community.
