The two main problems mentioned: Documentation and Behaviour
The Arch community is famous for its excellent documentation. I wonder how they managed to establish that level of quality as their standard.
Another issue is that the people competent enough to understand the software seem to be the least competent at documenting it. They are poor Educators. Can you remember the saying, "Those who can, do; those who can't, teach."? The people who can do it aren't teaching, they are busy doing it. The people who can teach it don't, because they can't understand/do it.
Regarding the "feminist shit", one would have thought that if one wished to be judged on one's code rather than on one's gender, then simply use a gender neutral name and at the end of commits, don't write, "P.S. I have breasts."
