Would it appease you if the introduction would contain the sentense: "all following names and role descriptions are considered to be gender neutral" or something like that? Reason: Reading he/she, him/her, etc. again and again is annoying. Unfortunately, often there is no gender neutral description if you don't wish to switch to lawyer language. Try reading this: | "There is a checklist of what a NM (person A or just A here and later) | has to do. Basically, A needs a GPG key signed by a | developer, A has to answer some Philosophy and Procedures questions | and in the Tasks and Skills test. A has to show that A has the | experience to be a good Debian developer. You should advocate | someone when you think that A is ready to be a developer -- when A | has the required skills and when A has been involved with the project | for some time. Just ask yourself if you want to see A in Debian -- if | you think A should be a Debian developer then go ahead and recommend | A.
