As
you experienced in the glibc community. Most of the time the project
stewards simply say no, go away, shielding the actual developers from
the disfunctionality. But that isn't really a good governance model.
In response to pressure from the GNU Assembly in 2019 RMS did write this up:

With regards to the abortion joke in the glibc manual, I did not do a good
job of shielding the community from the GNU Project in this case. The fact
that I have to do that shielding as my GNU Package maintainer duties
is disappointing.
