Thanks for the pointer to the article and thread, and thanks for distributing free software!
However, I accepted that ConnochaetOS was finally not endorsed for whatever reasons. I got no message with "No, we will not endorse your distro" - the entire process simply came to a halt. I will not pursue it further.
That's a shame you gave up because the above article quotes RMS saying exactly the opposite of what you concluded -- "We don't make upholding our political views a condition of our endorsement, but we appreciate it very much if you do it." (from https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2011-08/msg00059.html where I believe "do[ing] it" means "upholding our political views").
I'm still not clear why your GNU/Linux distribution wasn't accepted to the list of Free Software Distributions, but please stop telling people the rejection was due to "someone spotted that one of the users used the term 'open source' in the forum or in the wiki". That appears not to be the case at all.
