I believe there is no such process ongoing.

FreedomBox is not a distribution on its own, but a Debian Pure Blend - 
i.e. a subset of Debian.  Debian does not contain non-free parts and do 
not recommend the use of non-free parts, but Free Software Foundation 
disapproves of how Debian _suggests_ it.  Notice their explicit mention 
of "suggesting" at their web page.

I therefore consider it unlikely for the Free Software Foundation to 
endors FreedomBox on their list - but hey, if anyone wants to try, 
please do go ahead - other distros based on Ubuntu which is undoubtedly 
less free is on that list, so anything is possible.
