Ubuntu is another good case study - there is a code of conduct, which people need to sign (PGP) before becoming a full member.

http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct

The outline is:

Be considerate
Be respectful
Be collaborative
When you disagree, consult others
When you are unsure, ask for help
Step down considerately

I've seen some good things said about it, and liked the idea myself.

It appears that Gentoo has one also, based on Ubuntu's
