There are people on the list who do not know this. Mentioning this
point twice a year, in a short polite message, is useful and is no
reason for anyone to take offense. Those who already know this point
can easily disregard two short polite messages a year.
You have a mistake here: short polite message twice a year it already
not polite
when it cause some people to leave the list.

I think I understand what you find unpleasant. It could be the
hostile responses. Some make a mountain out of my molehill and demand
that you gag me. Other responses argue explicitly against citing the
GNU system when talking about it.
That hostility does not come from me. I am the one it is aimed at.
If you think the attacks are objectionable, you should place the
responsibility on those that send them.
Or you could decide not to let them bother you. If I can remain calm
while reading that hostility, surely it is easier for you who are not
its target.
I have another suggestion. How about if you notice these occasions,
twice a year, and post a message saying
The GNOME Foundation, as a part of the GNU Project, asks you to
please refer to this operating system as "GNU/Linux". See
http://gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html. Please respond to me
off the list if you would like more explanation.
I think that will deal with the sub-issue quickly and without
disputes,
and nothing will be derailed either.
