Hello Akira,
Whilst I do agree with the general sentiment of your message, I think it
is going to have little effect partly because of its length and partly
because many of the facts you provide are wrong. To take just a few examples:
1. It's a distortion of the truth to say that the US "waged
David Sugar, maintainer of several GNU packages mostly related to
telephony, seems to have gone missing in action.
David, if you are subscribed to this list, please contact us at
maintain...@gnu.org
If anyone else knows how to contact David, please pass this message
on to him.
Thanks to

Why? It is nothing to do with GNU. So why should any subscribers to
this list spend any time on it at all?
My understanding is that the people who are promoting it have thier
own

There is no such thing as the "GNU Social Contract". The
text to which you refer has no affiliation to GNU, is not
a contract in any legal nor even colloquaial sense of the word.
Furthermore it tries to impose upon people a very anti-social regime.

If you objtained your list of adresses from the maintainers file on fp, then
that was inappropriate. When maintainers give us that information, we
promise it won't be used in that way.
All new maintainers are automatically subscribed to the internal
mailing lists unless they ask not to be.
