I agree with @Vorticalbox in the comments: >(and typically white male) that is an unnecessary comment. Sex or gender, >even if they are the majority, has very little to do with the way wiki works. > >Even the minority groups will act the same way. I would go further and say that it probably depends on what article you are editing as to what gender/ethnicity causes "disappointment and annoyance". I have no idea why it is suddenly popular (and not disputed) to make remarks like this in otherwise good articles. That said, I think some of the ideas in this blog are not correct. One of Wikipedia's benefits is that it is consolidated into one effort, rather than many forks and a major distributed effort. Also as a number of comments have suggested, PR's can sit for a while before being rejected depending on how active a repository is. Other than having to use wiki markup (which in my opinion is confusing and terrible), there's a reasonably low entry barrier for contributers to jump over. Expecting people to use a form of Git (even with a UI) could end up being a lot of hassle.
