I've long been in the "reform GNU" camp and Deb and I have actively tried to make GNU a different, more welcoming place with MediaGoblin. More to say on that later. Anyway, I hope, but I suppose we will find out, whether or not that's true. I hope that if we decided to take such a step in MediaGoblin to do something to make the community more welcoming, that would be respected.
BTW I think this post really summarizes things nicely: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-05/msg00291.html
