My two cents:
I'm guessing you may have already received some emails about this so I
will try to be brief.
'Per' is already a word […] somewhat harder to parse
I propose just picking one of 'he' or 'she'
Least jarring, and recommended by many people I respect is "singular they":

The coding standards document was written at a different time, and use
of "singular they" has becomes more common and accepted since then.
Obviously, I personally (sic) find "per" as a pronoun very jarring.
