Preparing the Women Rights day, a colleague asked my how many RFCs
were written by female authors. I don't know, and, unless you know the
authors, you cannot find it from the RFC alone. (Yes, you can guess
from the first name but it is unreliable, specially for first names
of other cultural groups.)

Did anyone compile this information? Do we have stats?
