(That's how it strikes me. Why not call it a code of conduct then?) Also, on some set of Wiki pages?
Let's keep in mind that there's already been some work done on "code

Should have a section on goals that would include goals oriented part of the manifesto and then have the current section on mailing list rules, adding anything new and necessary. And make it clear that violating specific rules, especially after warnings from moderators, is what gets you booted, not some vague threat about "using the list in a negative way."
Also, I don't know if adminship and bureaucratship are used a lot in wikipedia, but even for people who've been around a while they sound a little too "incrowd-y". Spell out administrator and make clear what a bureaucrat is (I'm not sure).
