Though women participate in GNU, are any of them fortunately software package maintainer? Unfortunately, I’m not sure about this :/
You can find some from <https://www.gnu.org/people/people.html> (although the page is not complete). Some have spoken in public on the matter, for instance:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2019-09/msg00087.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2019-09/msg00007.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2019-10/msg00015.htmlBesides, please be careful when describing the gender gap in GNU or other projects. Despite the best intentions, results can be the opposite of what one expects. See: "Does advertising the gender gap help or hurt Wikipedia?" <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter/2015/December#Does_advertising_the_gender_gap_help_or_hurt_Wikipedia?>.
