Wokeness has been in open source for over a decade now. Any project with a Code of Conduct is woke. The very idea of open source projects having codes of conduct originated from a troon on GitHub and was propelled by cancel culture.
The technical signature of wokeness has been evident in open source for even longer. Wokeness hates anything old (because that means it was made by White men), which is why they love to replace perfectly good software with new, usually inferior, and always radical, alternatives. The most visible examples of this are Wayland replacing X, and Systemd replacing init, but it's absolutely pervasive, so you also see it manifest in minor ways, such as the "ip" program replacing numerous network tools like "ifconfig" and "route", pkexec (which had an exploit last year) replacing su, the army of RIIR fags who have even infiltrated the Linux kernel, and the list goes on and on.
The SSH exploit is part of this technical signature too. An XZ backdoor was only a factor for SSH because of distros patching Systemd support into it.
contributors will only ever contribute code to the mainline kernel
Not if they're all banned. Accuse them of using the wrong pronouns or saying nigger. They treat any denial of an accusation as proof of guilt.
Then welcome them to contribute to the fork, which doesn't have to be from before the code of conduct. You can fork the latest kernel and remove the CoC. It's not a license. Take the Rust bits and RIIC.
Devuan exists specifically because a bunch of people were mad that Debian forced Systemd adoption. But they recently decided it was too hard to resist usrmerge.
I'm not sure about the politics, but there are systemd-free distros like Void and a couple forks like Devuan and Artix. They would still use the same kernel though, not sure if there is any way around that.

Is there any way to strip this shit from Linux, or is there a distro that doesn't buy into this bullshit?

The BSDs (Free, Open, Net) are starting to become the option for trimmed down Unix-like systems.
You can also go with deeply embedded Linux systems like buildroot, but you will have to really know what you're doing to get something usable.
