It's their project and they can do whatever they want with it.

This is a common mistake. According to the documentation of the project only he/him people can contribute, not they/them.

To the reply,

I'd hoped the tongue in cheek nature of the comment was clear. Obviously I don't believe only men are allowed to contribute to the project as some matter of policy, but I couldn't help but make the jab at them for refusing the PR to try to be the smallest bit more inclusive as well as fix the grammar.

Open source project collaboration should revolve around technical merits only.

No. I don't know where the line should be specifically and I don't think it's worth discussing, but in general I don't see a problem with being hesitant to work with bigots, for example.

I disagree, and I think believing that's what they actually meant is disingenuous and inflammatory. You're suggesting they even care who contributes. Without asking Andreas, we have no idea why that word was chosen or if it was even intentional. And mote importantly it shouldn't matter. Open source project collaboration should revolve around technical merits only.
