I agree, it's too technical for people who don't want to be involved in
the technical side of Ubuntu.
I guess that you agree that creating a Launchpad account shouldn't be a
big problem, but after that: why can't they just serve us a web page with
the CoC and a checkbox at the end "Yes, I have read all of this. I didn't
cheat and I didn't just press Control+End to get at the bottom of the
page."

I had to create a pgp key that I will never use. I don't know how many PGP
keys I have already generated that are floating somewhere out there on the
net. Same thing with ssh keys: every time I need one, I just delete every
existing key on my 'puter and recreate from scratch. Key revocation?
That's beyond my intelligence.
