No particular one, but including: racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age, sexual alignment and orientation [list from EC Employment and Social Affairs]. The voting-derived soc-ctte could meet the definition of "indirect discrimination" by representing only our majorities - "where an apparently neutral provision is liable to disadvantage a group of persons." I guess whether that matters depends whether you think it matters if the debian project discriminates on the above grounds.
