I wouldn't have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out but it's definitely a term for a pretty outdated female-only position so I think the point isn't so extreme.

I can almost never detect this kind of stuff because it doesn't affect me directly and I'm sure the dev meant no ill-will, but once pointed out, I can see how projects named like this would get under people's skin.

"made, the MArkDown Executor"? :D It's pretty easy to be more inclusive.

The suffix "ake" is "standard" for these task runners... Cake (C#), Fake (F#) etc... So of course it should be called Make! ... ... wait ... ... shit ...
