Why stop at women?
My actual wording was: "not all white men", which actually means quite different from "must include one woman".
I don't appreciate you jumping straight to accusing me for discrimination. Assume positive intent, and ask for clarity before scrutinizing and making accusations.
"white men", "women", "slave"... Personally I find this tendency quite worrying and discriminating and frankly I don't understand what it has to do with a programming language nor why it's emerging only recently. Whoever ends up in the council, approves a PEP, writes a patch, merges a PR... I think that person should be elected based *entirely* on their merits, not because of their gender or skin color. Electing someone just to represent a minority doesn't have anything to do with IT and cannot lead to a good outcome in the long run IMHO.
