As far as I know, the GNU project isn't asking us to do this, so there's
really no issue here. (Richard might be asking us to do such a claim,
and we can respectfully disagree to do so)

And if the GNU project were asking, we could reply "sorry, that's not
the way we want to do things". And going further, assuming the GNU
project would ask this and wouldn't be happy with our reply, then it's
up to the GNU project to decide that maybe we should leave the GNU
project.

I believe the GNOME project is contributing to the GNU project by doing
what we, the GNOME community, think is the right thing, so there'd be no
reason on our side to leave the GNU project.
