Hi Jacques,
if not used in a context with 'slave', I don't see any problem using the
word 'master'.
It's word with many different meanings in English and I do not see any
sense in changing all occurences per se.

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
