The GNU Kind Communication Guidelines don't mandate gender-neutral speak in
documentation. The GNU Kind Communication Guidelines are about communication
between people, not about documentation.

Therefore there is no need for gender-neutral speak in the GNU gettext
documentation.

It’s not a *requirement*, but using gender-neutral pronouns is surely more *inclusive* than using gender-specific pronouns. And being inclusive to the users is a good thing, isn’t it?

So, IMHO, this patch in an improvement to the documentation.
