At least some PSF mailing lists have 1 or more PSF-authorized moderators 
(currently 4 for python-list) who pretty thanklessly check the initial 
posts of new subscribers and posts flagged by the spam detector as 
possible spam, or with other problems. We do not have 'every-post' 
moderation.

As far as I know, there has been just one non-spam application of CoC
to python-list: Nikos. I do not see how anyone could call that uneven or 
unfair.
