I agree. For example in the Italian team where we have recently been
discussing this issue, we feel that the leadership CoC should apply to
anyone with a position of responsibility in the community, including
but not limited to team leads, CC members and forum moderators.

On Nathan's point, I don't think that we currenly require any leaders
in the community (whether in the LoCo community or otherwise) to
*sign* this document. Personally, I don't think we need to, the
document is an explanation of standards that we hold our leaders to
rather than something that people can voluntarily agree to be bound
by. From a practical perspective, it would be difficult to police a
requirement that all leaders sign this document. However, that's just
my personal and initial opinion and if someone wants to propose that
this document be made signable and leaders be encouraged to do so, I
think it should be put to the Community Council for discussion. It's
outside the scope of this bug report.
