I’ve been talking to a couple of people about whether it would be
useful to have an explicit Haskell Community Code of Conduct.  Many
online communities have one (e.g. Rust), and it might be helpful for
everyone to have a concrete baseline rather than an unwritten
standard.  Any views on that?

I think these Code of Conducts make things even worse because then some
people start to check every word against these codes. Instead I suggest
we make more use of humor. E.g. Carter Schonwald's comment about grumpy
people made me think about renaming my prelude-compat package to
grumpy-prelude. :-)

I agree with Henning.  The discussion gets heated because people are passionate about Haskell; and the latter is a good thing.

I rather stomach some insults on a mailing list than having a formal code of conduct.  Severe violations of politeness can be pointed out without having such a formal code.  We can apply common sense.
