I don't really mind the proposed change, but (i) I find it more
important to remain in line with GNU at large than with a subset
thereof, and (ii) I don't think we get to appoint ourselves for whatever
role/position/title we choose; changing the terminology is something to
be undertaken by whoever appointed us under the current terminology.
What GNU appointeth, GNU renameth ;-)

So my vote is for us to wait for GNU to make the official move.

If anyone feels it is called for, I wouldn't mind the addition of a
disclaimer of any "open-source steward"ship under the EU CRA that might
be incorrectly presumed from our maintainership roles.
