Nobody is excluded, all GNU maintainers and developers are welcome to discuss these GNU governance issues here. That is clearly false. I've asked repeatedly if for example RMS, the person who can actually decide on topics like governance, is included in these discussions -- this has been answered with abundant silence. This shows a lack of understanding, and a total disregard for how this project is governed. You've repeatedly made the assumption that this is a community driven project, and that volunteers have a deciding factor, this is clearly false. The GNU project is not democratic, for good reasons, and this isn't complicated at all to understand. Asking for a loyalty pledge would be a radical change to how things are done, which now has gone from that the GNU project makes a pledge to individual members (see your message, and Ludovic'). You can't even seem to agree on what this summary is supposed to say, or mean. All in all, this should first be discussed with RMS before brought to public discourse.
