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.

You're suggesting that devs trust anon devs more?

Devs focus more on the code of anon devs, instead of wasting time on their gender, race, or whatever.
