I've mentioned it on private lists but I'll repeat it here: being an
email-centered culture, our social bugs are probably different than
those of traditional corporations.  For example, it would be practically
impossible for us to discriminate against bearded people even if we
_wanted_ to, while a PMC could easily be exclusive towards people who
don't have GitHub accounts.

I would suggest to seek case studies: accounts by specific people who
were/are excluded.
