There are several instances in our documentation where we refer to an
anonymous user as "a contributor" or "an integrator" or similar. To
avoid repeating this role, pronouns are used. Previous examples
chose a gender for this user, using "he/him" or "she/her" arbitrarily.

Replace these uses with "they/them" to ensure that these documentation
examples apply to all potential users without exception.

This is a quote from a mail of Junio's[1] (date and all). I don't think
it makes sense to copyedit that after the fact without at least editing
the header that indicates that it's a verbatim reproduction.
