The Software Freedom Conservancy released a statement (https://sfconservancy.org/news/2020/jun/23/gitbranchname/) in 2020 detailing why they are encouraging projects to shift from "master" to "main" and lay out some good reasons for it; GitHub has gone the same direction (https://github.blog/changelog/2020-10-01-the-default-branch-for-newly-created-repositories-is-now-main/), as have several other git hosters.

This issue is a recommendation to adjust the default branch name from master to main.
