## This script is an attempt to map the fraction of female maintainers of
## Bioconductor packages over time. The gender of a developer is inferred from
## the first name, using three different methods from the gender and genderizeR
## R packages.
## There are many caveats with this rather simplistic analysis, and thus the
## inferred values can not be expected to be fully correct: not all maintainers
## provide a full name (initials, organizations, the core team, etc), the
## databases do not provide geographically unbiased and complete coverage of
## names, many names are ambiguous (some depending on the country/language),
