There is a broader point that we no longer have the open source community we once had. It was about filling every thing with good open source software - be it desktop, server, embedded. On desktop there was a variety of DEs, distributions, software and all that stuff. There was hope that open source will win. But nowdays I see open source largely as a server side movement powering large proprietary platforms. Everybody is using these platforms without questioning. There is no longer anything to win. Plus proliferation of walled gardens. What will new open source hackers work on? Ruby test framework? No they won't. Maybe they will be hacking mobile dev, but that makes you conformist nimble enough to crawl into walled garden. The politics regarding gender are just a part of politics out there.
