adding gender field on debian developer's database (from debian-devel)

[fabienne s <fabienne@fabienne.us>]

hello d-w,

so i'm interested in what you think here on the list about including 
someone's gender (i *think* that's what he meant by "sex" below) in the 
debian developer's database?  has this guy never seen the list on debian 
women of developers and women in the nm queue? (see email quoted below 
from debian-devel)

i don't think it would be stellar to include a gender field, but that's 
just my personal opinion.  i don't think it's necessary.

cheers,
fabienne (just came back from a lovely "what the hack", not a lot of 
women but i represented the minority well i hope!)
