> can't imagine what a "victim of harrasment" for such a thing would look like

Well, Drew's article gives a concrete example of a victim. But beyond this specific article, it is not difficult to find examples of people who were harassed when trying to be involved in an open source community. This is pretty much the reason why so many open source projects are adopting codes of conduct.

Automatic scanners that rank libraries take away points if you don't have a code of conduct, and github nags you.

This is why my projects have one.
