[gentoo-project] Date-of-birth in developer applications

[Michał Górny]

Hello, everyone.

I'd like to revive the topic of requiring date-of-birth for developers. 
Currently, we 'require' this date in developer applications and store it
in our LDAP (it's not public).  However, I'm not aware of any good
justification for collecting this kind of personal information.

The Trustees are apparently 'researching' the topic since at least
Feb 2017 [1], and haven't reached anything yet [2].  In the meantime,
applicants are asked to provide their DoB with no clear explanation why
they need to do that or how it's going to be used (the last part of dev
quiz [3]).

So unless someone can provide *a really good reason* to request this
kind of information, I'd like to propose that we remove the question
from the developer quiz, and remove collected birthday dates from LDAP.

What do you think?
