I suspect that lack of punishment was basically the whole reason the
original CoC was written, and the whole reason the topic came up
again.

That sounds a bit like nobody is responsible for enforcement.  The
only thing devs can do to basically do what they're already doing -
having running arguments on the lists.  The only way to block
inappropriate behavior is to moderate it.

Whether we want to do that is up to the community, but the existing
CoC is fine as-is if you don't want to do anything about enforcement,
IMHO.
