Without knowledge of preferred pronouns, "they" seems appropriate.

As I read it, the point was not about the wrong pronoun but about the fact that the suite is developed by one person and not a large team and that the burden of benchmarking Linux performance should maybe not rest on one person alone.

You missed his point. There was no wrong pronoun, this is what he is claiming.

If by "old school" you mean "everywhere outside of Silicon Valley", then maybe. Coming from a pretty conservative society, I read these sorts of discussions with mild amusement. I may have formed a mistaken impression of the US society, but it seems to me that it tends to bounce from one extreme of political or social views to another.
