>To whom? ... or why ? 1) Diversity of people, of experiences and point of views can boost a project (this includes "minorities", genders, countries of origin... but it is not limited to this). 2) Being able to attract more people to contribute can boost a project. So if you care about an OSS project or OSS in general, that makes sense to think about those issues. On a bigger picture, people working (often for free) on OSS are doing an amazing job that has a big impact in the world we are living. In a more societal point of view, it also make sense to 1) try to include the views and experience of many different people on project that will have an impact on everybody 2) find ways that more people and more diverse people contribute Everybody can contribute on an OSS. But there are things preventing some people to contribute and that we can ameliorate. There are ways to make more people and more diverse people to contribute or to contribute more.
