In practice, just send your patches, be civil and respect all other contributors. I can't remember any occasion where people were banned. One or two people left when they were asked to respect people's choice of pronouns, and decided they'd rather leave, but nobody told them to leave... For sure, this touches on many philosophical and political issues and while I respect your deep insight in these matters, and your concern for ethnic minorities, I don't think guix-devel is the place to discuss them. Thank you for your time, Thomas
