Squashing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Bugs in Open Source
summary
Frames diversity problems as DEI bugs and applies a bug‑squash workflow: discover (walk in newcomers’ shoes), understand (where contribution flows break), and resolve (rewrite docs, add templates, enforce a code of conduct). Cites surveys: GitHub ~95% men 3% women and OpenStack ~7–8% women in code. Builds practical tooling: contribution checklists, public dashboards tracking first‑response SLAs, and a time‑to‑merge bot that estimates PR reaction times from past data — dashboards deployed, bot prototype working, impact still TBD.
