   Hasn't RMS already officially stepped down?  

He resigned from the FSF board, he is still Chief GNUisance.

   What position does he hold within today's GNU project other than
   being a wise old person (wise with respect to his topics of
   expertise) who is respected a lot?

While the GNU project is very loose in its organization, it is RMS who
decides what projects get accepts into the GNU project, who is or
isn't a GNU maintainer, and has the final say on anything related to
the project.
