When looking form an organizational perspective, I think the GNUstep

While applications are not under the umbrella of FSF and managed
individually by
the respective authors.
Confusingly, gnome is also listed there together with gnustep, but
gnome defined themselves quiet differently than gnustep on
responsibility and scope. e.g. gnome believe they deliver user
experience, while gnustep believe they deliver development tools. Thus
the organization hierarchy and ownership to FSF doesn't seem to
explain the differences.
please do not confuse things. We want do deliver a whole experience. But
the gnustep "core" team maintains only the essential KITs and libraries,
the development tools and some essential applications. It is up to other
developers and groups to complete the experience and deliver what they
think best.
Different people have different opinions about the final product. Think
about XFCE vs. GNOME. Or even KDE4 vs. the KDE3 "fork".
You may want to look at Etoilé, the GNUstep Application Project or
Backbone for projects which cater together a set of tools.
