Ouch!n If it needs explicitly listing, why can we not use "anyone"? Starting to use the word gender in this way is both linguistically clumsy and uneuphonious and so PC that it becomes a strongly political act. When I was young, women burned their bras. This struck me as pointless and rather absurd. I agree we need to be inclusive, but lets keep politics out of Debian.
