Thank you, Simon! FYI Simon did a survey on inclusive language and compared various DEI lists [0]. In particular, the IBM Inclusive IT Language Repo [1] and Inclusive Naming Word Lists v1.0 [2] stood out because they give explanations on why certain words should be replaced or kept. The IBM list covers more terms, though the Inclusive Naming Word Lists has better rationale. Most other sources simply compile lists without giving any rationale.
