     This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant
     (http://contributor-covenant.org), version 1.3.0, available at
     http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/
     
     I would rather see what they have to saw about it upstream.
     ...actually, upstream has "other's"

"other's" would imply that publishing one person's details is unacceptable,
but publishing many persons' is ok.  Whereas, "others'" means that publishing
anybody's details is unacceptable.
