We're dealing with a man who thinks it's fascist to concern yourself with freedom of speech: https://www.wingolog.org/archives/2017/09/04/the-hardest-thi...

And who has advocated hiring only people who give "correct" answers to an ideological purity test: http://www.wingolog.org/archives/2017/09/05/a-new-interview-...

Hint: The correct answer is structural misogyny. Any accounting for the fact that less than 50% of programmers are women, that does not attribute 100% of the imbalance to structural misogyny, would presumably disqualify you from the role. So there's your Unicru answer key, in case you run into this sort of question in the wild.

Basically, Andy Wingo has certain political positions, and if yours differ, you are racist, misogynist, or otherwise "fash" and toxic to the organization, therefore should not be hired or recognized as a contributor.

I happen to disagree strongly with Wingo on a number of counts -- which is why I'm glad he's around to hack on Guile! But I don't think his advice on who should be included or excluded should be taken by the FSF or other free software organizations.
