Here is a patch showing around 45 suggested changes to get the ball
rolling. Mostly "he or she", but sometimes other wording, and in one
case I took a few liberties and introduced <literal>name</> to stand
in for database objects instead of pronouns which I hope doesn't read
too clumsily or change the meaning. I didn't cover the release notes.
A big +1 from me for changing this (unintentionally) unwelcoming
language generally, whatever the new wording.
