With input from people who don't agree or would like clarifications? Because that didn't happen during the last time you tried this[1]. It was just the proposers talking in circles and ignoring input and questions, asserting that things would be for the better but unwilling to engage what "better" would entail.

is not GNU. And you were asked repeatedly to change the name to avoid confusion the last time you tried this with "gnu.tools", but it was ignored, just like all the input and questions that didn't straight up fit your world view.
> It is about collaborative governance and better communication
That's what got people to listen to you on the gnu-misc mailing list, but it turned out it was about ousting rms (without any solid plan other than "trust us") and shutting down dissenting opinions.
There's a reason you failed the first time, and it doesn't look like the gnu-tools initiative has managed to improve their governance or communication in the meantime.
Your link seems to prove otherwise. RMS is seen to leave the development of the projects he started alone, letting the developers decide everything. Sometimes, less than once per year, he chimes in for a totally non-technical part of the project (a stupid joke in the docs). But even then, the lead developers can have their way! It looks that the GNU maintainers have already full control. What else do you need? That RMS cannot even participate in the mailing lists? These are open, you can also write there.
By design.
