I'm not particularly bothered by either form of the word itself, but I
am strongly opposed to the idea of making (or even asking) people to
declare their gender for two reasons.  1)  That's not going to help the
complicated issue of the overall relationship of women in FOSS groups
that's already strained.  2)  Unless you're willing to implement it
properly with the full variety of answers, it's discriminatory towards
some segments of the LGBT community.

All etymological concerns aside, I do think "ubuntista" sounds kind of
cool, so that works for me.
