Technically, when the process can be done without actual paper, maybe
it's possible, I don't know (hell, I don't even know if uses PGP).
I just assume this part is more delicate to modify because that's where
the "legal validity" checks would happen.

Maybe gnu-prog-discuss@gnu.org (mailing of maintainers of GNU packages)?
Tho you'd probably just get agreement from them, so maybe good to get
support but to get actual movement maybe it's better to send it to
assign@gnu.org and to rms@gnu.org?
