It's the one with a dev that thinks that replacing "he" by "they" is political propaganda?
Yeah, no thanks.
Can you provide some context?
Edit: I found the context. Here and here.
maybe I'm not seeing where the smoking gun is, here. I see a guy saying something akin to "can we not do this here in the github please"
and then I see a bunch of people blowing up and yelling about "dehumanization" over it.
...why is this such a huge deal exactly?
Open mindedness is a key factor for success (especially in open source). Inclusivity demonstrates open mindedness. The fact that the lead dev goes out of his way to prevent such a minor change (it's not even like people demanded a strict CoC or something) is a bad signal
