They have also been successful in getting other projects to use

using the term "master", but then relented after Python did so.
That's misrepresenting it *AGAIN*. Both stopped using master along
with slave. The main developer branch is still called master in both
projects.
In any case, if you would care to actually read the diffs on the Python
change, you'll see that it covered a number of instances of using
another word for "master" when "slave" wasn't involved. It's not the
pair of terms that is problematic, it's either term in isolation that
is.
Further, this proposal is actually covers changing fewer terms than
Python did, and hence is more conservative in that respect.
Please, actually read it: <https://bugs.python.org/issue34605>
