Hi,

After a discussion between ASF members, I saw that an effort has been done by Infra, and I guess in some TLPs, to replace some connoted words like blacklist and whitelist.

We have not much occurrences of these words, so I suggest that we replace blacklist and whitelist list respectively by denylist and allowlist as suggested by
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/51088/alternative-terms-to-blacklist-and-whitelist#answer-51104

There is also this article: 
https://developer-tech.com/news/2020/jun/15/github-replace-slavery-terms-master-whitelist/

We have only 1 occurrence of slave in our own code, that would be easy. For 
master it's more annoying 1771 occurrences, so that would need a review.

What do you think?

Jacques
