My first impression was the lead developer calling a PR for gender neutral pronouns in the documentation “personal politics”. Pardon me if I’m still underwhelmed, no matter the state of the project.
Ohhh,
The name of this browser, and this commit, that’s definitely a no go concerning me.
There is enough as**oles like this,
With you in that the sexist comment means avoid, but am I missing something about the browser name? Aren’t ladybirds just what ladybugs are called in the UK?

Etymology my friend, etymology,
Some made a pull request with all the changes made already. The issue that the PR addressed was the excessive use of he/him in the docs when referring to developers (aka the person reading the docs). Contributors expressed that they didnt think using male only pronouns in the docs made much sense when referring to any developer reading the docs. This wasn’t some entitled person trying to force the ladybird dev to rewrite the docs, all they needed to do was merge the changes.
I think a bit more context could help here. What if those devs are male and prefer he/him? Should those pronouns be changed?
