I fully agree that CoC cannot be applied selectively; it's just that from what I've seen, it's not much better when you're a committer.  Core ignored my own report couple of months ago, and I've seen two mentions of other cases like this - all from people with commit bits.

At the same time, it absolutely can be a problem to reply to an email; look up "executive dysfunction".  But there's like a half dozen people on core@, and a single one would be enough to move it forward, so I don't think that's the likely cause here.

I'm not sure it's a problem with CoC, or if it's being use by core@ as an excuse for their arbitrary decisions.  In my case last summer, core first determined that I hadn't violated CoC (acc to Gleb's writeup), and then proceeded to straight out lie to me about it.

FWIW, core team is not responding to emails from FreeBSD committers anymore either.  They know they screwed up badly by trying to kick me out at request of certain youtuber, then were forced to (partially) confess to developers@.  I guess they have learned they can just ignore the developer community.
