Re: [PATCH] Use gender-neutral pronouns in HACKING and t/README

       may be interesting for debugging, so that when a user send a verbose
    -  output we don't have to ask him for more details.  Display stderr
    +  output we don't have to ask them for more details.  Display stderr

I'd like to say "when users" here instead of "when a user", to avoid the
singular/plural conflict, since it's easily avoidable in this case. (I
know it isn't always.) Also, independently, "a verbose output" is wrong
English. So:

--- a/t/README
+++ b/t/README
..
-  may be interesting for debugging, so that when a user send a verbose
+  may be interesting for debugging, so that when users send verbose
   output we don't have to ask them for more details.  Display stderr

Similarly for the HACKING change:

--- a/HACKING
+++ b/HACKING
@@ -24,8 +24,9 @@

-* If somebody reports a new bug, mention their name in the commit message

+* If a person or people report a new bug, mention their name(s) in the
+  commit message that fixes or exposes the bug, and add a line for them
+  in THANKS.


Any objection? --thanks, karl.
