>if Hitler picked up coding, a code-of-merit based project wouldn't object to him contributing to it, while most of the code of conducts I've seen would not. So it really comes down to: where do we draw the line?

There's no need to draw the line. As long as Hitler writes good code and behaves well on project's mailing lists, issue trackers etc., I would have no problem with him being a project member.

Could anyone who is downvoting here explain why?

Why should we prevent someone from contributing something good, thus hurting ourselves in the process, because they otherwise do something bad?
