Everyone being welcomed into contributing to the kernel can result in a natural lack of diversity, as it selects for people interested in technical programming.

It is the ham-fisted attempts to increase diversity for its own sake have ended up being discriminatory. [1]

If there are barriers stopping people contributing, these should be removed. I expect these to be economic barriers, rather than those based on particular characteristics.
