I see. Did you follow up with David's point?
Wikipedia article has "Proposed alternatives to the generic he include
he or she (or she or he), s/he, or the use of singular they. Each of
these alternatives has met with objections."

Official rule is "Please click right bottom of the
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ddp/
to request to join as described in
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DDP
" but I added you :-)
If you are to commit subversion repo for debian-faq, please cordinate
with javi <jfs@debian.org>.
Also, please get consensus with other stake holders what expression to
use across Debian. Inconsistent changes and frequent revertings will
drain translation team resources without gain. For many non-european
languages, this gender-expression change breaks translationi but just
needs unfuzzy since translation is the same.
If GNU/GNOME/... or any other Free Software organization established
their uideline, declaring to follow it is good idea.
