The data of the study doesn't reflect these conclusions to be honest. The most simple one, that women engage in far fewer numbers explains all observable effects in my opinion.
Also the users the data observes are found on Github and Google+. This is a insufficient data if you write about the open source community in general.
The implicit bias test the authors used to certify themselves have problems justifying their relevance.

If OSS is, in general, hostile to woman (and I would suggest that it is) than obviously fewer of them engage with it. Of course that same problem is reflected all the way up the chain - fewer woman become programmers because computing is hostile to them - a trend which starts at school and has been the case since about the 1980s.
