I agree in principle but the lone committer from Failuristan, where
participation in Open Source can get you in trouble, would not be
happy to see that.

For several years I was over 50, female, and a student in UCSD's Computer Science PhD program.

Considered separately, age, gender, department, and intended degree each seems harmless. Taken together, they uniquely identified me.

I looked closely at surveys, and checked whether they had a minimum group size policy that would protect my privacy. I would have been upset to see information I had supplied for legal or administrative purposes treated as research survey data without having the opportunity to decide for myself whether or not to participate.
