> However that does not preclude someone else, of any gender, doing so more scientifically. And to answer your accusation: yes, I did submit the same patch twice, under two differently gendered names (although never publicly, I would copy-paste the patch and privately email it). I would have never suspected this, but I don't think it really addresses the concerns of unconscious bias. The scheme yummyfajitas proposed seems to address both(although you would have no way to prove the randomness of your choice). I'm sorry if I sounded too harsh in my initial criticism, it was all hypothetical without any knowledge of you or your specific situation.
