We have already done that.
It was discussed at length between all interested maintainers, and the result
has been formally codified here:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html
and the reasons why the particular words were chosen and why some were not

There is no intention to change this, so further discusssion is moot.
"Endorsing" (or not) some random set of people's other ideas is not
going to change anything.
