I think user "tomp" means that "a one man team" basically means "one person team" in English (and many other languages).

Saying "one woman" is shifting the attention to the fact that the one person dev team consists exclusively of women. Which, I think, is pretty cool and note worthy because it is uncommon. Say a startup is run from an tiny island in the pacific, that would also be noteworthy.

To me the thing becomes "woke" when we are told not to use "one man dev team" to mean "one person dev team". Basically when it becomes political correct speech policing. But then the word "woke" is rarely defined, so it mean whatever to whomever at this point.
