Honestly, if this isn't confirmation that the process is biased I don't know what would be. Joe makes great content so this isn't a dig on him... It's just, the only difference is that he's a man.

The current categories for applying are pretty bad. I don't understand why they're being so arbitrary and selective for verifying individuals. Most of that seems to be handled by an external service.
Why do they need to apply arbitrary/inconsistent rules about notability anyway?
Our open source project used to have a verified account but we didn't get a response to requesting verification for the current account. It's neither rejected or accepted.
Our old account got hijacked by the company formerly sponsoring the project despite them having no access.
