Surely, "first and foremost" it should be a discussion to be had by the
existing leadership?
It would also be nice if you could use "GNU maintainers" when you mean
"GNU maintainers", since it is not possible for you to know who has and
who hasn't got a "stake" in GNU before you confine "GNU stakeholders" to
any particular group in the context of a statement.

Whereas most GNU maintainers are probably GNU hackers, not all GNU hackers
are GNU maintainers.

Helping with what? Like your earlier "enough is enough", imprecise statements
and slogans get in the way of clarity and understanding.

Passive-agressive is also agressive, and not helpful in problem solving.
If you have a problem with a particular person or group, please be calm
and clear.
