Just a tiny but important clarification. TPB didn't host illegal
content. Just the magnet files pointing to them. This is an important
distinction and the basic reason why shutting down a torrent tracker is
nothing less than censorship.

But I agree that it probably won't be the best move for FSFE to issue a
PR for this. Strictly speaking this doesn't fall under FSFE's scope.
