To me it seems that we're ignoring this:
"GNOME is proud to be a part of the GNU Project." (from
gnome.org/about).

So by extension, a GNU mailing list is the perfect place to discuss
matters that also affect GNOME.

The rejective attitude towards joining a GNU mailing list that I see
here should then result in GNOME leaving the GNU project. Then above
statement can be removed from the website.

I know this is an old flamebait, but if no one here who is still active
("influential") in GNOME is openly pro-GNU, then it's time to openly
admit that.
