Does Comscore have any gender data from their panels?
I think finding out more about the gender gap in editors is a scientific research project. It's not an easy problem to formulate and some thorough research and experimentation is needed. I'm not sure if pulling together some reports from data we have would be beneficial or actionable.
If this pitch is meant for us to prioritize gender research and closing the gap, then let's have a discussion about that. How important is gender research relative to everything else we are doing at WMF? Is this something someone at a university would be willing to study?

example, we might include the gender question in the signup form for a small percentage of newly registered users.
This experiment sounds more useful than the current gender data. Over
time, it would also allow us to track retention rate by gender for those who answer the question.
