My guess is that this might have something to do with Linux contributors threatening to revoke the code they've written over a new "Code of Conduct" that very specifically values a contributor's race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. over the quality of their code and can inflict punishments for anything the coders say or have ever said on social media that is not acceptable (read "politically correct") under the guidelines of the new CoC.
Just search YouTube for "Linux CoC" for loads of information and opinions on this.
