Code of Merit: A meritocratic approach to project management (2016)

I'd assumed that was the intent: if someone says "my contributions are not being taken seriously because I'm a woman" or "I sent in a patch request and the maintainer asked for nudes", this code facilitates banning the complainer from the project.

I would say that this is the most negative interpretation possible that you have there. It can also be interpreted in the way that the maintainer is breaking this code of merit if the maintainer is evaluating the contribution on anything other then merit.

It certainly does not sound to me like this Code of Merit is specifically for supporting sexism like you imply here. It is just specifically against the Idea that Merit or Meritocracy is "dead" which is a common view of those pushing for the usual Code of Conduct stuff.

What you just wrote makes no sense, I have no idea how you came to that conclusion.
