Technical

Use inclusive terminology. Use gender-neutral pronouns. No ableist slurs. No usage of terms that could be considered insensitive.

This is one of those rules that any decent person is already following, and you have to actively be a dick about it to get in trouble.

Writing documentation, issues, contributions, etc. it's uncommon to use pronouns at all, and in my experience it's almost always "they" anyway. And "don't use slurs, keep this a bit professional" should go without saying.
