It's pretty funny how much my comment was downvoted. Of course it makes sense that it's because of the quality, but they can, and do, explain it away, saying that it's a white male privilege to have the free time to devote to contribute to open source, and to improve their craft. Open source is apparently not a meritocracy for this reason.
