Thanks to the internet you can search for the answer yourself.
Despite your perception this is an issue out there in the open source
community.

Luckily the Wine Project is one of the sane projects where inclusiveness
happens naturally.
To quote Jeremy White:
"Overall, I like to think that we're the friendliest large open source
development community out there.  Of course, that is a bit like saying
that we're the friendliest and nicest pit viper :-), but still..."

And we like it like that.
