It seems reasonable to me that we vote on the decision to deprecate whitelist/blacklist in favour of the new terminology. Similar to slave process that would be as a community we state our intent and have no new materials/code created with the deprecated terms. This also means we contact blog post/tutorial writes and let them know we've updated terms as we do already with slave term.
At the last advocacy & outreach meeting we did a quick search and there were a bunch of uses of the whitelist phrase beyond what you reference here (e.g. in JEPs). We can vote on the deprecation and then track places to upgrade, similar to https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-42816 (i.e. separating out trivial changes and non-trivial ones that impact compatibility). There are many conversations on this happening in different forums which is good. The governance meeting seems a good place to continue these conversations and drive for shared understanding and work towards consensus.
