> If Hitler wanted to join my code project, I'd try to help steer him in the right direction and teach him to contribute something worthwhile.

I imagine you would have no worries about what might happen if Hitler's PRs are rejected and he gets angry about that?

So, the solution to that would be to exclude him from the project, because while you fear the consequences of rejecting PRs from him, you see no risk in rejecting him outright as a person?

You don't really need a Code of Conduct/Merit for that.

If what you're alluding to is "Hitler will call for genocide if his PRs are rejected", then we already have something for that.

It's called "The Law".
