In other words there's legitimate reasons to ensure that a CoC, particularly one based on the contributor covenant, doesn't become a tool for personal attacks made as part of disputes taking place well outside of the project.

True as that could be, it seems that I always have to point out that people saying this do not seem to apply the same principles to themselves:
If judging a contribution from someone else based on that person's behaviour outside of the project is bad; how should what the person who wrote the CoC did outside of the project matter in any kind?
To put it more clearly:
1. Person X criticized someone in project P1 for something that happened outside.
2. Person X is blamed for this
3. Person X (indirectly) contributes to project P2
4. Criticism from 2. is used inside P2
How come? The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one (and it's becoming quite complex to explain...)

This is a good example of why shit that happens outside the project can, and in many cases should, have baring on their inclusion within a project. Reiser killed people, should we just ignore that because he has proven to write some pretty good code. He's an extreme case yes but it still backs up why you do need to look at a persons conduct outside a project.

Why is that a good example? ReiserFS was a great piece of code. Actually "the first journaling file system to be included in the standard kernel".
At best, this is an example of why we should NOT care about a contributor's personal life. What's the nexus between personal conduct and C code? Would you prefer shitty code with NSA backdoors pushed by SJWs in place of good code pushed by MoFos? I'd go with mofos any time!
