#3How mechanically centralized is leadership in the GNU project? Does rms sign off on every change?
I'm wondering how expensive it would be (assuming he does not want to step down) for the community to fork away from him or route around him.

#5Genuine question, what exactly do these maintainers want ? Stallman has already quit his leadership role/position, right ?! Is there something more that he or the GNU project needs to do ?
Re: Joint Statement on the GNU Project
#6Wow, so what does this imply? Is this a coup d'état or just a _request_ for Stallman to cede part of his leadership to more people?

He quit the FSF and MIT. GNU is not the same thing as the FSF, despite their close ties. He has ascertained he still maintains a leadership role in GNU, and he has quite a contingency of devoted followers who think this is all a witch hunt against him.

#8> We, the undersigned GNU maintainers and developers, … [18 signatures]
Does anyone happen to of know what fraction of GNU maintainers those 18 names represent? Does this represent a majority of GNU maintainers or a small fraction?

A small fraction. But an important one. These are some of the biggest names in GNU, like Emacs, libc, gcc, gdb and gpg.
