If we become a registered entity, it'd be a way more easy for governments to
get us accounted for. Even more in the case of a USA-registered Foundation.
While with the current case, it'd be a way harder for Debian to get into
trouble. For example, the foundation could be sued, and we'd have to pay for
such trial in USA. But with the current state, one would have to go after
single individuals.

It is strange that you consider going after single Debian members as
preferable for Debian, single individuals are usually easier targets
than large organizations.
The idea is that the individual(s) involved may not be in the same
country, making it even more difficult. Or even, impossible for a
government to go after all of use at once, as there would be no legal
organization to dissolve.
