Code is completely separate from the community. Community is formed by people and code is just bunch of instructions. What if a fascist forks your projects and adds features to it? It your code fascists now? Does your community support fascists? Of course not. And if a fascist submits a patch to your project and you accept it it does not mean you're collaborating with fascists now and your projects is tainted. That's just absurd. "You're a bad person so I will not merge this bugfix, I will write the exact same fix by myself so that my code stays pure".
