Women Get Pull Requests Accepted More (Except When You Know They're Women) (peerj.com)

An anonymous reader writes: In the largest study of gender bias [in programming] to date, researchers found that women tend to have their pull requests accepted at a higher rate than men, across a variety of programming languages. This, despite the finding that their pull requests are larger and less likely to serve an immediate project need. At the same time, when the gender of the women is identifiable (as opposed to hidden), their pull requests are accepted less often than men's.

I've "pulled" a few woman in my time...

Mr Cosby, I'm not sure this is a good time to be bragging on Slashdot.
