An opensource casino video game was recently posted to
the debian bug tracker as a request for packaging, as
is the standard method for pursuing such things in debian.

The bug was quickly closed, tagged as "won't fix"
The reason given by one of the debian developers
alluded to the authors anti-feminist views and his
advocacy of them:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=770314

The piece of software in question is licensed
under the GPL and is one of the only of it's
kind for linux (ascii-art console slot machine software)

Is professing pro female liberty politics now a hard requirement
for being allowed to contribute to opensource?

The answer: Yes.
