I can empathize with your frustration over the current state of affairs and the lack of transparency (including timely updates to members of the FSF).
However, what you propose is seems like a measure of last resort.
May I encourage you to help the current GNU Project volunteers working to define a governance model that is organized from the bottom-up? A governance model that rallies around the community to engage them in the goals of the GNU Project, not just the outcomes.
We absolutely need people like you to promote the goals of the GNU Project.
Cheers, Carlos.
