There is a public summary from the European Commission of all the consultation responses it received regarding these guidelines, when they were still in draft form. In it, you will some references to some of the feedback that WMF provided: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/digital-services-act-summary-report-public-consultation-guidelines-providers-very-large-online
Unfortunately, it seems there was a significant rush within the European Commission to get this out as soon as possible; just 19 days passed between the end of the consultation, and publication of the final guidelines. So although I see some changes in the final version, that go a little way towards acknowledging the concerns we raised, I would say that overall the released document is fundamentally very similar to the consultation draft.
