>I don’t care at all: the tone of your skin, where you come from, who you sleep with or what hole you piss from
That sounds like a sad, shallow, deracinated existence. It is human nature to care about these things. You never hear this boomercon cringe in healthy societies.

They're also explicitly pro-DEI, given the next paragraph. "It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just a boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome."
It's the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" of contributors agreement.

‘Democrats are the real racists’ in 2025? >I don’t care at all: the tone of your skin, where you come from, who you sleep with or what hole you piss from That sounds like a sad, shallow, deracinated existence.

Did you know its possible to support social systems and equality without gasp making it a huge deal?
You’re both losers, either side of the US political spectrum, leave the rest of us alone.
Yes, I’m mad about it- 15 years of this and its not improving.

Being free of DEI (et. al.) is a good thing, it is just sad that something like that is a noteworthy policy. It comes down to stating that you don't care whether contributors happen to be left- or right-handed: well, duh, of course you don't care and it would be silly to insist on having 'equal handedness representation' as a policy for a project.
Or maybe the project's infrastructure or documentation is somehow more difficult to use for left-handed people, or assumes shared experiences that's common among right-handed people but which is foreign to most left-handed people.
And since roughly 10% of the population is left-handed, if only 2% of your community is left-handed, it could be worthwhile to ask why. Maybe that difference is due to a broader societal issue, but maybe there's something about the community that repels left-handed people. Worth investigating, no?

So a German, thinking his work is much better than it actually is blames liberals and minorities for his failure and tries to take over the governance? Wow, that seems familiar.
