From bug 189314:
“(By the way do committers have to be female? If gender is not important to the role, you can use “they”, “their”, & “them” - which refer to one or more of any combination of genders.)”

Truly an interesting question that I’m sure has been on everyone’s mind. Do committers have to be female? Well, no, they don’t, because I’m a committer and I’m a guy.

I have been trying to phase in the female pronouns to some stuff I write over the male pronoun. It is naturally an extremely difficult task. I also use the plural form at times. I’d say it sounds odd about half the time but can be usable in other times.
