Our results show that women’s contributions tend to be accepted more often than men’s [when their gender is hidden]. However, when a woman’s gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.
That might also be the case, but that then raises the question of the quality of PRs in order to judge the contribution quality of “anonymous” contributors.
