Do you mean something beyond what ComRel already has on their project
page on the wiki[1]?

Specifically: "Community Relations may also act after all other attempts
to solve the issue have failed. Developers are encouraged to try to
solve the issue among themselves in a civil manner before they reach out
to Community Relations. Developers within a project engaged in a
personal conflict may wish to consult with the project lead. Although
leads are not necessarily qualified to resolve personal disputes,
technical issues resulting in conflict can often be resolved within the
project without Community Relations involvement."
