None of these involve establishing quotas - they involve considering issues of gender (or race, or sexuality, or anything else you're invested in here) in making choices.
That's all fine and good, but it just seems irrelevant and out-of-touch with Wikipedia's open nature. I see it as inherently unfair to evaluate somebody based on what they are-and-can't-change.
It's more a recognition of systemic bias and that this is probably not a good thing.
