True, but currently unavoidable by that presumably-flawed metric.  The only 
way to *really* fix this is for everyone to encourage their female 
colleagues/students/friends/enemies/frenemies to start using, and 
eventually contributing to Sage.  This is a lot easier from my more 
pedagogically-focused context, but of course such people also are markedly 
less likely to become developers.  This is part of a larger societal 
picture in math and CS that Sage cannot (by itself, that is) fix.
